Wow! What a week. We went to a village near the city (well, it's a small town really) Jiri, where we taught about 40 pastors and some other random people. We started out by driving 8 hours to some small, dark, depressing town in the mountains, then had to walk for about 4 hours to the village. I was sick the day of the trip (don't ask, it was pretty rough) so I did this entire trip without eating. We got to the village and almost everyone on our team was sick, but we taught on anyway. we slept on dirt floors and rock hard beds, with dust falling on us all night. Fun times!

Our meals this past week haven't exactly been five star either (not that they ever are...). We ate dhalbat, which is rice with lentil soup, for every meal. Breakfast? dhalbat. Lunch? dhalbat. Dinner? what else, dhalbat. I am so sick of rice. That's besides the point though. Our teachings went really well, and we hiked back out of the village on our last day to the actual town of Jiri. it was a really nice 6 hour hike through the mountains and it was beautiful.

I'm back in Kathmandu now after a 10 hour bus ride yesterday and I've already eaten more here than in the entire time I was in Jiri! We are doing some more ministry here and preparing for our trip to Tibet in a week and a half.
