Nepal is wonderful so far.  We spent 2 days in Hong Kong and it was fun.  The whole team arrived together (I met them in Manila), but none of their luggage made it.  Fortunately, it arrived the day after we landed here, so they were only missing it for 3 days.  It was a good opportunity to practice all the things that we have been learning. 

Our second day here, we went on a 2 hour trek into a beautiful valley – the scenery is breathtaking.  I am already loving being here.  When we got to the village, we met about 25 like minded brothers and sisters.  One of our sisters was the first fruits of this village.  Sadly, her husband recently died.  He was the very first to know our Dad, and then she quickly followed.  Of course, a his funeral, the village wanted to cremate him, but she took a very public stance by saying no.  She was in much trouble and distress, but now she has more brothers and sisters to comfort her.  I wish I could say more, but it’s dangerous to them. 
 
There is a very severe petrol crisis here and there are hundreds of cars waiting in line to buy it no matter how expensive it is.  Some leave their cars in line for a day or 2 just sitting there waiting.  There was a bad riot yesterday. 
 
The team all left this morning for 6 days as they trekked up the mountain.  I am staying here in Kathmandu to pursue something else that our Dad has for me. Please talk to Him for me, as I hate being all alone in a strange city. 

Thanks, love and blessings, Ann
