A few brief happenings....

We're still on our family stay and really enjoying it. Though dahl bhat twice a day is starting to wear thin but its only a couple of days until we can have some bedeshiko khana (foreigners food). The kids are back from Chitwan and still as active as they were when they left. They're back at school this week so fortunately we do get some peace and quiet in the afternoons when we're studying. After that we get to wind them up all evening. Dinesh and Karmala took us along to their house group last night where we met some really lovely Nepalis.  Dinesh gave a brief talk and although we didn't understand that much of what was said it was easier to follow than in Church. We are now in a bit of a dilemna as we are finding that we are getting to know more and more Nepalis from Nya Gaun church and we haven't really got to know that many from Ram Ghat church. We are once again praying for guidence as to which church we should be going to as we are starting to feel that maybe God wants us at Nya Gaun.

The digger has been again and more of our road has been dug up. The construction of the road is going to be a slow painful process. Its too hot to wear shoes at the moment so we're living in our Tevas the muddy road means that every evening you need to scrub your feet for a good half hour before crawling into bed.

We're starting to buy a few things for our house, we're now moving in on the 1st of May which is slightly earlier than originally planned. We bought a mattress the other day which got soaked on the top of the taxi on the way home thanks to the untimely arrival of a thunderstorm. Speaking of thunderstorms on Monday night we saw the most impressive thunderstorm that we have ever seen. There was a continuous rummble as the lightening didn't really stop. There were large forks of lightening in all directions. I'll post some footage later.
