Now, I'm heading off to spend a few weeks in Nepal before coming back just in time for Christmas.
Tomorrow (Tue., Dec. 3rd), I will fly to Kathmandu with layovers in Chicago and Istanbul. I am scheduled to arrive on Thursday morning. Raju has a packed agenda, including congregational visits, a week of teaching at the Himalayan Lutheran Bible Institute, and a regional pastoral conference for the Himalayan-CLC.
Because of the terrain, frequent landslides, and unusually heavy rains that lasted longer than the typical monsoon season this year, the road conditions in Nepal are worse than usual, and many places are closed to travel. Prayers for safe and uneventful travels to and from Nepal and while traveling in Nepal are requested and much appreciated.
