What a few days we have had! All is going so well. thank-you for your prayers for us as a team.
Our flight to India went well. We arrived in a little more than twelve hours. Our bus driver wasn't there immediately to pick us up, but we worked that out and then made our way to the YMCA International Guest House.
Tuesday we explored Delhi both in terms of culture and handi-crafts. We found ourselves in many interesting situations. I always enjoy introducing people to the intricacies of India and Indian life. Several have spoken about the misconceptions they had before coming here.
The schedule has been busy. Today we pushed on to Nepal and have explored a little of what life is like here. We met as a group for the first time today to debrief with each other about the things we are experiencing. It was good.
Tomorrow will begin early as we go to the top of the first ridge of mountains to see the sun rise. It is a great trip. I trust our participants will find that it is worth the effort to make the early morning call to rise and shine.
Nepal is struggling with the shortage of supplies usually brought out of India. Trouble in other parts of Nepal has slowed down the arrival of commodities here in Nepal. I asked a guy in a line to get gasoline how long he had been in the line. He told me two hours!
I love being back here in my homeland. I enjoy opening the door for others to see and experience things here. Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
More to come.
Ken
