We have a very busy Friday as Tim is getting ready for his Funeral Seminar to be presented on Sunday to Pastors in the Kathmandu area. We shop at a pharmacy, a grocery store and a fabric store for supplies for an example of an in-home preparation kit. The man helping us with fabric is asking what we are wanting the supplies for...Ching just smiles.
We are invited to the upstairs neighbors, John and Diane, to dinner for homemade Momo's. These are half moon shaped steamed dumplings. They are filling theirs with a secret ingredient pork mixture. John shows us how to shape the dough around the filling. They are served with "pickle" which is similar to salsa with varying degrees of spiciness. It is a fun evening of eating and visiting.
Saturday we attend the Himalayan Evangelical Church where Vijay is the pastor. Tim is preaching the sermon with Ramila translating for him. He does an excellent job using 2 Corinthians 5 and speaking of our Eternal Hope. He shared from his personal experience in funeral service and had people in tears! Ramila did a wonderful job translating.
We went out for Indian fast food at a local mall with Vijay, Ching and family and Bishwa, Ramila and family. It was fun to taste even more different food and be told how to eat it. We then went to a larger mall to have coffee and tea at a very modern coffee shop. We felt like we were back in the Pacific Northwest! I had an interesting talk with Ching and Ramila and the lack of rights for the women in Nepal. They are very passionate about it and both want to pursue PhD's in order to gain credibility in the country in order to help the women.
