Little Worshippers!!

Today we travelled outside of Kathumandu to Dhulikhel to the orphanage started by GFN last May. This orphanage has 10 boys who we visited and there is also one in the city that looks after 20 girls. Phil and I had a great time swinging the kids around and teaching them about their heavenly Father! The stories of these children and how they either have lost their parents through the war with the Maoist communist regime or have parents that are so destitute can really pull at your heart. The stories of how they have come to find a shelter here from their personal storms is amazing as well. It was so great to hear them sing so loudly and praising God with their hands held high. They teach them early to be expressive worshippers in Nepal! After our visit, it was time to head off to the airport for our flight to Delhi. From Delhi, we took a 4 hour drive to where we are staying in Jaipur. At the hotel, we met a young Christian, Ashok, who does puppet shows and man, did he have us laughing. He was great and fun to hang out with. It is now midnight and I'm in an internet cafe meeting some more guys and getting to know them. It turns out one of them used to live in Canada and he tells me he loves our country. He says, 'no one has ever given him a cold shoulder in Canada'... I think the weather takes care of that! For what its worth, we rate in Jaipur!
