Just Wait

This morning dawned foggy and cold. We woke up in Gorkha, and after looking around at the small village for the last time, eating a small town breakfast and loading our luggage, we set off.

Today is the beginning of the end.

The roads were bumpy leading to the main road, uphill and taken very slowly. It was rather quiet in the van for several minutes--and yes that was because some of us were sleeping. Leaving behind what we came for and heading back to Kathmandu was in a sense depressing, yet in another like we were headed home.

Among the traffic that was quite normal for Nepal, and a little life threatening feeling for us, I saw one of the colorful trucks displaying "Just Wait."

Just Wait.

It struck me as inviting I guess. Here I was with my team finishing our last adventure. Traveling over mountain roads for the last time on this trip. Yet, it said "Just Wait."

Yes, the reason we came to Nepal has been completed. Yes, the people we came to meet we have gotten to know. Yes, we are extremely different than the last time we were in Kathmandu. But really even though one adventure is finished another has just begun. All we have to do is wait for it. Be ready for it. Get excited because it's going to be better than we could ask for!

So as we take the afternoon to recover from our nomad travels and light colds, we ask that you all do keep praying for us. This adventure is just beginning, we still have lots to experience--lots to learn. It's been a beautiful day. One filled with sunshine and laughter. Please keep praying for us, friends. More greatness is on the way.
