July 6th & 7th

July 6th- Today was a day off in Pokhara, a very touristy place. We started off with breakfast at our hotel. Then we got to ride a cable car and see the beautiful views of the city, and even a tiny peak of the mountains. Some rode the cable car down while others of us got to paraglide back down. It was a breathtaking way to take in God's amazing creation here. It was a new experience for us all and I think we all enjoyed it. The Lord granted us a great day for spending time outside. We walked around the city looking at shops and then headed to dinner.

July 7th- Today we had another long bus ride which was about 10 hours, but before departed Pokhara we all caught a good view of the mountains from our hotel roof! The bus we had today had very spacious, comfortable chairs which made for a nice ride. After we arrived, we walked to a mall to have dinner. I think most of us got pizza, which was delicious! It was also my birthday today, so before bed I was surprised with a cake! I feel very blessed to be here with Christian friends, and I continue to be amazed by God's handiwork each day. His love is evident! 

Psalm 121--- I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

In Christ,

Lauren Gurgel
