Arrival in Nepal

We arrived in Kathmandu yesterday. Flights went well and we are just getting settled in with the family of Vijay and Ching. Will post more later. It is cold here and they have intermintent electricity and no central heating. We took a walk with Randy this morning and it is amazing the amount of people and garbage along the streets. It is quite an experience.

Vijay is quite excited about the possibility of a Christian funeral home to serve the Christian community here. They have no one to care for the bodies of the dead and no place to bury. This could be a very interesting ministry for Tim here. He will probably talk to some of the pastors and elders on Feb. 5 about caring for the deceased. Vijay thinks it will be a great Christian witness to the Hindus as they care for the dead with love and respect.
