Nepal Survey Trip Continued...

Most of you know that a week and a half ago my husband and I got back from our second survey trip to Nepal. We had a great trip. Although I don't particularly enjoy flying, I must say that overall we had great flights. All together, including layovers, our trip from Chicago to Kathmandu took us about 36 hours. On this visit, we were able to spend two weeks in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. My husband's main goal this trip was to get video footage to update our DVD presentation that we show in churches while traveling on deputation. We were able to accomplish so much thanks to the help of the Ortiz family.
