Eight hours, clinging on for our lives as we journey to Kawasoti from Kathmandu by bus. We sat through the heavy traffic jam,*bumper-to-bumper* for abut 3-4 hours. For the next four hours, we watched as other vehicles pass us by just a few inches away from our bus. Marcus calculated that our bus driver honks approximately 21 times per 5 minutes - that is a lot of honking! Inspite of these about-to-die moments, God preserved our lives! phew...!
After a good nights rest on traditional Nepali beds, we are ready to go. Conference starts in a couple of minutes. 250 youth bused in from nearby mountain villages. We would love to write more in this update but as we have to get into town for internet, we should be embarking on our brisk walk back so we don't keep the participants waiting.
We covet your prayers!
