A Journey of Adventure and Faith: Arriving in Nepal

We arrived in Nepal safely after a long and tiring journey of total 28 hours. We still are jet-lagged but filled with excitement for the new chapter ahead. Accompanied by the joy of seeing our kids enjoying their time with relatives and savoring new foods, Nepal quickly began to feel like a place of adventure and promise for them.

It is a rainy season here in Nepal. Days are mostly wet and humid. A “gazillions” of mosquitos swarm around us like a hungry lion behind a gazelle. It is one of the challenges for us at times to dissuade kids from wearing pants and full-sleeve shirts on humid days. Nonetheless, the cool breeze and beautiful scenery after the rain offer solace, reminding us that we are indeed in a land of contrasts. Amidst the changing weather, we found comfort in the thought that God has brought us here for a purpose.

House Hunting in a Land of Contrasts

In our quest for a home, we place our trust in God’s providence and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We know that wherever we land, it will be part of God’s plan for us. This faith eased our minds and gave us the courage to embrace this new chapter with open hearts. We are starting our search for a place to call home tomorrow. Nepal’s vibrant culture and diverse people will, definitely, intrigue our children. The bustling streets, filled with vibrant colors and the aroma of delicious cuisine, make each day an exploration of new experiences. Our house-hunting journey will be as diverse as the country itself, taking us to various neighborhoods, each with its unique charm and allure.

Faith in Action: Guided by the Holy Spirit

With each interaction I had with people in our neighborhood, I saw the immense potential to touch lives and make a difference. We believe the universal language of love and compassion transcends all barriers. In our case, we are grateful that we do not have language barriers and cultural differences which could present real challenges to someone outside the culture. We pray daily for the opportunity to share the Good News with those we meet, trusting that God would open doors for meaningful connections.

An Unfolding Adventure

Our journey in Nepal continues to be an unfolding adventure, filled with excitement, challenges, and faith. As we navigate through house hunting, humid weather, and the blessings of new experiences, we rest in the knowledge that God’s plan is more significant than our own. With every step guided by the Holy Spirit, we strive to impact lives, one encounter at a time, with the transformative power of the Gospel.
