We thought we were going to a village but Biratnagar is second largest city in Nepal-it's much less developed than Kathmandu, some areas feel very rural. It's very different to Kathmandu - Sometimes I think we are in India, we were in a village just outside Biratnagar which was literally 10 minute walk to Indian border:-). There isn't a hill in sight and it's mega hot and humid.
So...we have been to schools a couple of times. We just rocked up and asked if we could play with the kids. The principle was very nice and we had great time and he even invited us back.
We've been to nearby villages, praying for people (God did some healing:-D), did eye tests and gave out glasses, taught some basic healthcare. We watched the Jesus Filim, performed some drama skits and played with kids - We got invited into a random peoples homes for tea...they're so hospitable here.
We taught at a youth meeting, in a prison and at church. Some have made massive sacrifices to follow Jesus in a Hindu culture, it's incredible!
We also had an awesome time at an orphanage, playing with the kids. we also painted in one of their classrooms. they painted henna on my hand. Man, them kids are so precious!
One really lovely thing is we have been getting to know the locals, we've been in their homes hanging out, drinking tea. its been one of my favourite things. The only guy in our team was practically proposed to :-) so funny!
We only have 3 days left in Biratnagar, then back to Kathmandu for a short time:-(
I don't have many good photos of our painting etc. right now...soon
Please keep praying for me..
That I know what God wants me to do
That we build lasting relationships with locals, for the permanent team here.
Gods grace for the heat
More confidence when talking to people
Finance for flight back to Norn Iron.
Thankyou kindly!!
