This morning, Kody and I walked to Patan hospital for a tour. My expectations were little--I simply expected to find out where to go for an emergency, how to make a doctor's appointment in the private clinic, etc.
But what I found were scads of people waiting in line for the Leprosy Clinic. As a westerner, I am naive to think that Leprosy is an illness of the past. But it is very real here in Nepal. It was a wake up call for me as I saw the physical, and in a sense spiritual needs of the Nepali people.
Sadly, there is no expression on their faces, no twinkle in their eyes, no hope. Please join me in pr-ing that they would have hope. Now may the G0d of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the H.S. Rom 15:13

I hope you all are doing well. Thanks for the updates- I check your webpage daily to see if you have posted anything!! Tell Kody I found Cranky last weekend and will send it to him soon! We love and miss you.
