Nepal #2

Quick update -

This is what I resorted to today - DAY 3... gotta keep the dust and exhaust out of my face, but feel like I can't breathe with this thing on!

Today we visited another children's home a little further away than the one from yesterday. The living conditions and the children were dirty, but we (the others on the team) agreed it was consistent with the area in which they live.

More horrific stories...

It's tough to see for sure.

We could have eaten at this children's home, but we were warned that everyone who ate last time got terribly sick, so we ended up heading back to the hotel. Then we headed down to a convenience store and got lost on the way back haha. The tourist area here is like walking through a constant state fair - but shrink down the walkways 3x and multiply the signs 3x and you'll begin to get the idea. It's a total sensory overload.

There are two other girls on this trip with me and one of them has been sick to her stomach a lot, but she hasn't vomited. It's been hard on her, so prayers are appreciated.

Also, our trip coordinator has been sick for several weeks and was too sick to be with us today. She is suspecting that she has a parasite on top of a cold.

Today, when I was leaving the children's home I realized I had lost my money. The entire pouch of it...

THANK THE LORD for two things.

1. Typically we take one taxi to the home and a different taxi back to the city. For some reason, this taxi was round trip.

My money pouch had somehow been left in the taxi and

2. The taxi driver kept it and returned it to me. Wow... this is extremely rare. I was really shocked he didn't take it. I mean, he could have taken it and I never would have known...

So blessed and thankful for God's covering.

P.S. THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS ON THE LAST POST, LOVE THEM SO!

MORE PRAYER REQUESTS:

1. Continued protection in my food and drink consumption.

2. Health/healing for those currently sick.

3. We are traveling 6 hours by bus on Sunday - please pray for protection, the road is a dangerous one.

4. No attempts of the enemy to bring in offense or distractions among team members to prevail. ONLY TRUTH.

LOVE!
