So today was the day. Shem had asked me to give the message In a rural town outside the city. I had spent a lot of time preparing the last few days for my first sermon. Shem told me to keep it simple, most of the people i was preaching to had never been to school. And they were mostly new christians. I settled on the topic of love. And so their was a transportaion strike in the city to day so we had to walk. It was about a two and a half hour walk. The view was nice on the way. We decided to take a short cut but part way into it their was a trnch dug on and the mud thrown onto the trail. It was very slipery and shem fell into the trench. All up one of his legs and his shoes were covered in mud. Anyway a little heat and a lot of mud later we arived at the church in Chumpy, well it wasnt regularly a church it was a house that we were having church at. So about 30 people came about half being under 15. We sung some nepali songs ala acapella . I gave my message and shem translated. It was nice to have a translator, as Shem spoke i could figure out my next thought. I'm very happy to anounce that it went well. Shem said he thought it was good. And he's not the kind of guy who would just say that to be nice, unlike most of you people. No offence. Yeah so afterwords we went over to one of the peoples houses for tea, well i guess its 10 of the peoples houses because it was the husband and wife the their 8 kids. Anyway I feel very blessed that things went well, I'm not much of a public speaker so I do really give the all of the credit to God. He is very good to his people you know.

I'm so glad that things went well, and that Shem was honest with you. You have been blessed, and you are blessing the rest of us with telling us about what is happening to you and around. I continue to pray for you and everyone that you come in contact with. All of God's great and massive blessings on you! Missing you.
