45 days from right now Kelsie and I will be heading to Training Camp! Oh, how time flies. We are starting to seriously get pumped for what God is going to do in and through our team. Kels got to meet a few of our students on Saturday in Minneapolis at the Royal Servants Info Meeting which was really cool. She got to put some faces with names. I had to work so it'll just take me a little longer to get down names :)
- The official language is Nepali, but English is sometimes spoken.
- Eight of the highest peaks in the world are situated in Nepal.
- Nepal's Flag is the only national flag in the world that is not quadrilateral in shape.
- In December 2007 the Parliament of Nepal made the decision to abolish the monarchy.
- Nepal is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world.
- In early Sanskrit sources the country is referred to as Nepala.
- The two largest cities by population are Pokhara (200,000) and Kathmandu (nearly 1 million). And we'll be in both cities!
Financial Update:
We have raised $6,864 so far! Thank you so much for your commitment to bringing the Gospel to Nepal. With only a month and a half left we are asking for your continued and fervent prayer over our finances. And if you would still like to join our financial team you can click here to sponsor us. Just type in an amount and choose either Kels' or my name from the drop down menu. Our first goal is nearly met. We are $2,336 shy of meeting all of our needs for our trip. However, our second goal is to raise an additional $2,800 for home expenses including rent, car and life insurance, and our cell phones. So we still have a ways to go.
