Day 29 – Nepal

That’s a picture of Machhapuchhre, aka Fishtail Mountain ( over 20,000 ft. above sea level). This pic was taken by our friend Crystal, who accompanied us to the town of Pokhara where she took this picture. We headed to Pokhara because it is the second biggest town in Nepal and we thought we’d have some opportunities to share there. Also, our friend Kav, who is the one who organized all our work here in Nepal, was being relocated to Pokhara. So we didn’t really have any plans, but the night we got into town Sean and I just walked around the happening part of town and tried to find some places to play. We walked into this one place called “The Old Blues Bar”, which we figured was perfect for us. We flashed the newspapers from Kathmandu, and they were more than willing to have us play the next night. We did the same at a bar called “Busy Bee” with the same result. The night we played the Blues Bar, a monsoon came through and we were stuck in the bar till nearly 2am. The bar leaked pretty bad, and it was funny to see those dudes using whatever they could to scoop up water and throw it outside – only to have it pour back in. But it was good because we got to bond with the rest of the people rained in the bar and even got opportunities to share the gospel. The next night at Busy Bee was not as good of a show, as the stage is not situated in such a way that people are faced that way. So most of those in attendance weren’t even paying attention. In any event, we were blessed to hang out in Pokhara and hopefully we were able to scatter some seeds and make some contacts for the M’s there that will bear fruit eventually. Plus, its just a beautiful city and we were glad to have seen it.

We head back to Kathmandu tomorrow and catch a flight the next day on our way back to India. I think we’re going to miss Nepal quite a bit. Everyone says the Nepal is not a place you go to only once. I can certainly feel an urging to make that the case for me.
