Well, we are back safely in Kathmandu after today's 11 hour car ride. It would have been much faster except that we had to wait outside the city for a couple hours due to some civil unrest that was happening within the city. Apparently some Maoists (ruling political power in Nepal) had killed somebody and this caused a strike by the people within the city and prevented people from entering Kathmandu. We heard stories that a bus was turned over by the protesters because it attempted to enter. Anyway, after waiting for some time we just decided to go for it, so we prayed and weaved through backroads and side streets. In the end we got back to the church safely!
No one got sick on the curvy and rocky road (thanks to Dramamine!), maybe just a few cramped legs and numb butt cheeks. I was encouraged by the team's patience and attitude as we endured the long ride and then long wait after the long ride!
You are probably wondering what happened in the remote village of Nessing - some amazing things happened. But I am going to let the rest of team tell the story, so stay tuned for the next posts as team members write a summary of each day in the village.
So visit this blog again soon!
Thank you again for your prayers, they made huge impact!
