Our team has finished their teaching, and is feeling very blessed!  Teaching was good, and very appreciated.  They spent much time teaching on the HS, and "the men went on and on about how much better they understand now."  "The [leaders] and their wives thanked us time and time again for coming the long way to share...with them."  Praise!

From Gretchen: "The kids from the village keep visiting our 'complex' for chocolate, which is what they call all candy.  Happily, we are well supplied!!  The women and men are gathered in two different parts of this small village, and I could always tell when Darrin was near because I'd start to see all the children running around with DumDum suckers in their mouths." :)

She also says, "we are getting really good at climbing the hills (steep mountains!!!) on stony paths to get to the bathrooms, and to get to meals, and to teach."  Perhaps their guide, Indiana Nichols, is partially to credit for this success! ;)

The team slept well last night.  This ^ is a photo of their camp from an opposite hill top.  It is raining, and they are very thankful for good tents that do not leak!

Despite the rains, they have spent a cozy evening together drinking tea on a village porch.  They request that we pray for the rain to stop.  "It is very heavy, and seems to have settled in."  After sloshing back to their campsite in a downpour, the rain tapered to a sprinkle, and our team is drying off in their [still dry!] tents for now.  All of the rain is unusual for this time of year in Nepal.

They will be breaking camp early tomorrow morning, and heading back to Kathmandu.  This is the same rough road on which they had to walk during their trip in to the village.  Pray that the rain does not delay their 6 hour journey, and that the trip back might be a little easier than the trip in.

The mountains in the distance are the Himalayas.  This was the first morning that the fog lifted enough for them to be visible.  Incredible beauty!
