So we are now officially done with ministry. We have been back in Kathmandu for about a week now debriefing. Our trip has been compared a lot to astronauts returning home bc of some of the different struggles we face. but its a good change.
I'm on crutches because of my knee injury. I have been for about a week. It's... challenging to say the least. And i get lots of stares when i go out. but my knee feels better when i dont walk on it and my arms are definitely getting stronger. the only problems are that they are 2" too tall (yay 3rd world medical supplies) and they are rough to use on slick surfaces. which is pretty much all the time bc it rains so much. oh and i have to walk up 106 stairs to our meeting room from the lobby of our hotel (The Manang) when the power is off. and its off pretty much constantly. its been quite a humbling experience bc i can't carry my backpack with my crutches and i have had to rely more on other people then i am used to. God has definitely used it to grow me though.
we fly out of KTM august 3rd and have a 15 hr layover in Dehli, india then fly to London, england then finally back home. We land at 8:10 pm on the 4th.crazy that its finally august and we are so close to going home!!?!!
please continue to pray for our team as we debrief and prepare to go home. we are all quite excited and nervous at the same time. pray that we will rest well while we travel. pray that i will be able to get through the airports on crutches ok. im really worried about that.and pray that our last few days as a team will give us closure and great memories.
i can't wait to tell u guys more stories when i get back home and have more than 15 minutes on the internet at a time!
thank you for all of your support and prayers- i really need them:)

Hey Penny!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the ministry went so well, but not so glad to hear about the knee! Continuing to pray for you and your team as you guys decompress, and of course for that knee! Stay strong through those airports, and I'll be looking forward to hearing more when you get back.
