Wow, the first day of Kawasoti conferance is over. I suppose unpredictable, blessed, and exciting would be the most precise way too sum it up :)
We arrived yesterday evening and our hearts were warmed by the announcement that hot showers would be available in the morning. Our host family told us that the electricity usually stays off for nine hours a day and that it would be on in the morning. As you might guess, shower time came and went without electricity. Most of us still opted for a cold shower. You could say it was a stimulating start to the day. Unpredictablility can provide so much spice in life!
Thankfully the rest of the day went more or less as planned. We all started with Nepali led worship songs. The heartfelt singing was a blessing to join in. Next, Pastor Gopal Lama gave us a traditional Nepali welcome including flower garlands around the neck. We guys were a little suprised but felt quite loved nevertheless.
The rest of the day has been filled with lots of great teaching. Kevin and Laura both gave lessons on true love and how we can receive and share God's love in our lives. We all had an opportunity to give a short testimony during the lessons. Finally we had break out sessions learning English songs and a lesson in basic drama (acting). The students seem to enjoy the chance to experience such variety. Their enthusiasm is fun to experience.
Please continue to pray for Pastors Gopal Lama, Dhan Lama and their families. They are providing wonderful Nepal hospitality, and are the ones coordinating the conferences and providing all the translation for us. It is a huge blessing to be able to partner with them during this trip.
