...currently in a chilly Kathmandu, but it is warming up!
we went to Sundar Dhoka this morning and it was packed with over 200 there. We had a great start to the morning with the baptism of a young girl, so she went for the dip in the bath tub as everyone gathered around praying for her as she confirmed her faith through the sacrament.
During the service was rather special too as one of our old freinds sang a solo - a 'villagy' folksy melody with great lyrics about Jesus as Lord. Apart from a great song of worship it reminded, probably all of the congregation, of working in the fields, singing away as you do...with that warm feeling of contentment and peace.
Pastor gave a great sermon on aith and we saw faith enacted after the service in the fellowship shared between everyone over a wee drop of tea in the warm sunshine. We met a few new people and one in particular, a Dad who had brought his 3 children in for hospital treatment for their weak bones, came from Pyuthan, and of course knew about the Hydro Project we had worked on 20 years ago, so we had lots to talk about...his two boys had similar problems, and one of then who was perhaps a bit autistic. So we chatted and played for a bit and enjoyed the company.
This coming week starts Mark's time with Himal Hydro in his new job as Project Manager on Mai Hydro Project...the adventure continues
