We did What!!!??? :)

Well here we are again in the small van heading to Krishna nagar, and then to Butwal and then we will make our way up to Chitwan. Ten of us tightly packed into a nine passenger van. This time it’s only a 6 hours trip…to Krishna Nagar. Its really around a ten hour trip.

          

The last few days have been busy but wonderful. After getting to a nice little resort we found out it was a run by all Christian staff. We girls were delighted to find a room with three beds equipped with a fluffy pillow and wondrous blankets. After waking up early we were off on out elephant ride through the jungle. While us three girls rode on one elephant while Ron, Cheryl and Amrit went on the other. It was so great! At the cute lil lady elephant rocked side to side we watched it eat leave and elephants grass.  It was weird because the elephants would rip it out of the ground, smacks it on the ground with their large trunks, and then ate just the ends of it before throwing it on the ground.

            

While on the elephants we saw many small spotted deer that we thought were all small fawns at first, but then realized that they were in fact just small deer. One our way back we seen an orphaned rhino.

            

After we returned and finished breakfast we went on a jeep drive deeper into the jungle, searching for a tiger. Although we did not find the wondrous creature we did find his tracks. On our jeep ride we seen monkeys, wild boars, a little rabbit and trees that Obeth and I just wanted to climb. Amrit found us some berries and we had a jungle picnic, only listening to the birds in the forest as we had to remain quiet as we waited to spot the tiger

Once we again returned to the resort we went into the crocodile hatchery and saw two different breeds of crocs. Luckily none of them ate us J. The staff at the resort were lovely to us but they were all boys, so dear men of CLBI we expect to be served by the lot of you when we return. :D just kidding.

           

 I am very proud to say that this trip is a once in a lifetime thing, although we are starting to wish it wasn’t. While the people here are great, they are in great need. We have been to many villages and seen the people there. They greeted us and adorned us with flowers, placing them on our necks and giving us many bouquets of them. They had prepared a skit for us and we watched a bible study. It was such a blessing to see and hear Omreet talk of the bible to these people. When we finally left the village the woman and children followed us out. My heart almost burst as the children skipped along side us and tried to ask our names as we attempted to speak Nepali to them. It is so evident that the Lord is moving in Nepal.

Thank you for your prayers and I hope everyone is having a blast at home. There are many stories to tell when we return. Its so hard to believe that we have only been here a little more than a week. We have done and experienced so much that it’s hard to fathom. May God bless you all. Please continue your prayers as BA is being a little stubborn about not wanting to send our luggage to Kathmandu from Delhi. Silly people.

We send this with much love and many thanks.
