| The "staging area" |
Wow! We depart just three weeks from tomorrow (January 27)! The final push for Nepal 2011 is well underway! As the days get closer we will try to get better about updating our bog on a weekly basis. We are now busy packing, preparing the house and making preparations for our arrival on the other side.
In regards to the other side, as is the constant norm throughout South Asia, things are still politically unsettled as the UN’s peacekeeping mission prepares to pull out of Nepal in two weeks (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12120981 ) and infrastructure remains challenged as power cuts are back up to eleven hours daily in the capital city. For those of you who worry about such things, we remind you that it has been like this for most of our 23 year history with the region. Take heart, God is still in control and He will guide us.
Things are progressing well toward our departure, but you can remember us in prayer in a couple of ways over the next three weeks: 1) Kimberly has a small surgery scheduled on January 07th to repair a troublesome vein in her leg. Following surgery she will need to stay off her feet (and avoid lifting) for about ten days. Pray for our packing (and for me as I try to play Mr. Mom for everyone WHILE we are making the final preparations). 2) Anastasia our teacher is still in need of support (she is currently at 12%of needed funding for her entire trip). Let us know if you want to help Ana get to Nepal (and back) :)
