Nov 5 From YWAM guesthouse in Nepal to our house in Shelton: 45 hrs including AAA towing about 15 miles from the house. We told ourselves we were in the USA but driving a third world car. Home sweet home... It seems wimpy to complain when people on the same mission 100 yrs ago would have taken a year to get to Nepal and then stayed for life.
Nov 6 Back in American cultural reality... mixed emotions, mostly tired, mostly thankful, a bit like Inception if you've seen the movie.
Diane chopped and cook for 4 hrs making Nepali potato-califlower curry, white radish salad, and Dal Bat (lentil sauce) for the rice.
Nov 7 Marilyn and Diane fed the whole church! Many people liked it, but the best compliment came Sun. night when Doras (Indian by race) said Diane's curry tasted like the real thing!
Nov 8 Sleeping patterns are messed up... guess I can blame any weirdness on jetlag for another week or so. After that will have to find another excuse...
People keep asking me if I had fun on this trip. It is not my definition of fun. I do love being with my wife and others seeing God's mighty Spirit working in peoples' lives as we say and do His will.
Extremely thankful for those who prayed and supported us on this mission.

They do wonderful interpretive cultural dances to Christian Nepali music. At the finale of one of our 2 day seminars, they qued up the music and this young lady began to dance to Happy Birthday in English. Most people did not understand it so it took a moment to register that it wasnt on the program.
We found a distributer of Shaka Laka Boom noodles and he wanted to sell us a case but no room in my suitcase so we bought 6 packages. Not sure I have the faith to eat one... might go belly up and I still have one more day of meetings
11/1 We were north of Kathmandu in a tiny church today. Diane took the afternoon session and was exceptionally dramatic in storey telling. When she gave an example of what to do if a husband packs up and leaves. I crawled down the isle shouting Fogive me. She was so shocked, she blushed. I can still make her blush!
At the end several people were filled with the Spirit and healed. One man was shaking and said he felt like he was in the middle of fire and then lifted up.
11/2 We went to Jb's property 20K south of Kathmandu and drove the snakes out of the place. I hadn't planned to preach but the Lord gave me Rom.16:20 so I went from Gen.2:15 on through and we did some intercession. Diane had a word about God cleansing the soil 9 ft deep (weird huh?) Jb told us later the snake worshippers had done there thing several times in that exact spot. He had removed it, but they had come back and done it again. After a Nepali picnic (pop, donut, cake, banana, hot trail mix we walked 2 miles to the bus.
Went to the German Bakery run by a Nepali Hindu who said he learned to bake western style from a German hippie. I was about half through a Subway size roll of delicious yeasty white bread when he shouted, O my god, you are going to eat that whole loaf - you are King Kong! no jam or anything!
