July 1 - A Very Wet Hike (Supplement)

 Greetings from Nepal!


I'm supplementing Ethan's post with plenty of pictures. I know you're probably wondering why I haven't posted yet, Debbie V., so here it is. 

I was pretty sick the last few days, but the Lord kept me well enough to make the hike yesterday. It was one of those hikes where you and everything you owned was as soaked as possible, but being welcomed to a packed church with the opportunity to proclaim the Gospel and to fellowship with our Nepali Brothers and Sisters-in-Christ set everything in perspective. Knowing what Christ went through out of love for us, this really was just our "reasonable service." (cf. Romans 12:1) The trip has been an absolute joy, and I echo Ethan's comments about feelings of unworthiness and insufficiency. What a privilege the Lord has given us through His grace in Christ Jesus!

In Christ, 

Sam Rodebaugh

P.S. Here are the pictures I promised:
