What a time!

We are back in Delhi. It was a wonderful week in Nepal! Again and again the Lord opened doors for us to work and be involved with the things we had gone to Nepal to do. Truly God is good.

While we were there we were able to assist the local workers in making 80% of the boundary wall up to the three foot level. This was on top of the foundation that at placers was three feet or more in order to have a truly level ground surface when it was all completed.

People came and watched and asked many questions to see if they could figure our why these white people were working on this project. We became good friends with our Nepali hosts and with the workers who were hired to do the work. It was difficult to say good-bye at the end of our workday yesterday.

We also had great times with the children of the SPICE hostel. Perhaps the highlight was when they all walked out to the new site and saw what was happening for the first time. They laughed and sang and played games. We also provided a snack for all of them.

All of these things happened in the midst of Biratnagar moving into a Strike or Bundh mode. All traffic was stopped except for rickshaws and motorbikes. One day the only thing that was moving were rickshaws. This morning we actually went to the airport by rickshaw. Regardless all that was planned for the site worked out very well. The bundh did affect our being able to travel to Karsia, but instead we just spent more time at the work site and with the children.
