Nothing like knowing that we have to get up at 5am, so that we can be ready by 6:30am to catch a taxi to take us to the bus station. Then having (uncle) coming to our rooms and telling us “are you ready the taxi is here.” So we all had to get up real fast and get ready without breakfast. (Well I had some box cereal so Austin and I had breakfast) Some of us had to pack some things in the morning so we became late to the bus station. The nice thing about the buses in Npl is that they wait if you have more than 5 people wanting to catch it. The bus was full and we had to listen to and watch corny Npl music videos. Austin and I wanted to have an experience so we rode on the top of the bus. It was great lying down and listening to music, as well as Austin playing the guitar. (Don’t worry mom’s we were being careful) We arrived to our destinations safely.

We are in G* (name of village omitted), working with a “D-ship” school. We ate all 3 meals a day at the ch-rch. Dal Bhat is the main meal. We eat in for lunch and supper, and for breakfast it is very similar to Dal Bhat. We are getting a bit tired of Dal Bhat, when we get home we kindly ask no Dal Bhat, please. This week the Father has blessed us with the opportunity to speak to the students. We taught from 9am-12pm. In the afternoon we taught from 2pm-5pm. All of us have been stretched as beyond what we thought. The Sp-r-t is moving here among the students. We all shared once and I shared twice. They asked if anyone can give another message. So I stepped up and trusted the Father.

“I can do everything through him who gives me strength”

Phil. 4:13

“Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial”

1 Cor. 6:12

Praises:
The ability to share the Fathers messages

Bathing in the river is so much fun!!

Requests:
Travels to other villages
Speaking at a Woman’s Retreat (even the guys)
Preparing messages for another “D-ship” school.

Blessing from Npl in the Powerful Name of the Son!
