Hindu hostility

       Well, my plans have taken a little turn as of last tuesday. I was informed that I won't be able to stay at the orphanage as long as I had planned, because of Hindu terrorists that are causing Joseph and the children harm. Me being there lookin so white will bring more attraction to them as a target. Joseph says he only wants me to stay there three weeks!!! wow,,, instead of three months, so now I must figure out what to do with the rest of my time between my stay with Joseph, and my return flight. I am now planning on stopping in to the Bhutanese refugee camps in Nepal, where I will live with the relatives of my Nepali friends that I know here in Grand Rapids. This is kinda cool cause I wanted to travel like this before, but canceled the idea due to costs. Nepal is a good place to spend time in because the Nepalese Rupee is 72RS to a US $1.00!!!! I still don't know what I am going to do with the two months that don't have a destination, this is turning out to be much more of a dangerous journey then I had thought it was going to be, which is REALLY awesome!
       I am Just now getting my vaccinations for India, thats due on the 20th.
So I am selling more stuff that I have laying around to cover all this new airfare I will be flying.

  1. Wow, that will be quite an experience! I am interested to see what God has in mind for those two months. :) I will be praying for all those details to work out and also for protection for you and them.

    God bless,
