The begining of the end..

We are down to our final 10 days in Nepal. I can't believe we are at this point so soon! These last 6 weeks have flown by for all of us. This time we have had in Nepal has been so sweet together. Jesus has and continues to teach us so much about the body of Christ and Himself.

Tomorrow Anna, Tanner, Barret and I will head back to Pokhara until Monday morning. We will leave tomorrow morning at 6:30am. When we get there we will checked in to a hotel and get settled in. From there, Barret and I will head to Holy home while Tanner and Anna head to Paradise home. We are giving the house parents a few hours to themselves to go eat dinner together and spend some time one on one. While we are at the houses with the kids we will play games, sing songs and just invest in them. I am so excited for this time with the kids.

Saturday morning we will head to Mike's (restraunt on the lake) to meet with Cassidy and Josh. I know Cassidy's mom, Barb, from back home. Her and her husband are missionaries here in Nepal with their 3 kids. I am excited to sit down with them and talk to them and how they process certain things that we too have been facing. Saturday afternoon Barret and Tanner will take the boys from 3 of the chidlrens  homes and put on a soccer camp with them. While they are with the boys, Anna and I are going to take time and do some crafts with the girls. We will then go to Holy home and have a bible study with the older girls. We are both so excited about our time with them and all Jesus has in store. Saturday night all four of us will head to Bethani Home. Bethani Home has only been running for 3 months. The kids there are all from outside villages and some don't know Nepali or English so it can be pretty difficult to communicate, even for the house parents. While we are at Bethani home, the house parents will go out for a date while we watch the kids. We are putting together and English Alphabet book to help teach them their letters.

Sunday night we will be at Beloved home to invest time in those kids while the parents get to have a night to themselves.

Monday morning we will head back here to Thamel. We will then go through our week and finish up some projects. On Saturday, we will go outside of Thamel for debrief time. On Sunday, we will come back and then Monday night we take our journey home.

If you would all just pray for our travels to Pokhara and our last days here in Nepal. Pray that Jesus would start showing us how we can use what we have learned here and home. I will try to update more once we get to Pokhara!

Love you all!
