Last day in Nepal

Well this is it my last day in Nepal! I cannot believe that it is here! These past two weeks have been amazing. We were able to work with my friend and her nonprofit organization that helps provided a better life and income for sexually exploited women. Every morning we would do prayer and devotion time with them and it was amazing to see how much God has been working in these women’s lives. These women who have gone through so much trauma and hardship can still find the strength to smile and love others regardless of what has happened in their past. God knows how hard is must have been for them. My team and I did a lot of organizational stuff for them and I know it was a blessing. In my opinion our time with them went by way to fast.

Our last week was debrief week. Some of our time was spent in Chitwan National Park but was cut short due to a transportation strike. While there we were able to ride an elephant and a dugout canoe and do a jungle walk. These were pretty relaxing besides the jungle walk. It was pretty hot and humid and our guide threw a stick at a wild rhino and it ran through the thick grass, we thought it was running at us and we all took off running in different directions. I had never been so scared in my life.

As my time here in Nepal comes to a close it is easy to become excited when I think about how life will be back in a developed nation, running water, reliable power clean streets, but I need to remember all the good things God has done for me. This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I have learned so much and God has revealed himself to me in ways I would have never thought possible. I have been so blessed by all the people I have met here in Nepal. God has given me a heart for this nation and for his children here, for me it will be hard to leave, but I cannot wait to tell God’s testimony of his goodness and power to my friends and family back home!
