Mess

By John Ude | Published July 7, 2012

Saturday July 7th

We spent last night with the Pastor and his family including four orphans at Hetaudo. I asked him what led him to Christianity and to recognize the errors of Hinduism. He answered, the mess, namely the mess his life was in and as a result his families until Jesus found them. They had a great meal for us.

This AM I preach in their church service and Matthew conducts a seminar afterwards. Then we leave for Shaktipur. Sunday we set out on a 7 hour hike up the mountains. No roads available. The congregation is tribal people with little if any formal education ( that is the adults there is school now for the children). Since there are no roads there will be no bottled water anywhere so we have to backpack in everything we need. My blisters are all new skin so probably more susceptible to more blisters. Mess. But thanks be to God that He turns our messes to joy in Christ.

    You should have packed a triple antibiotic for those blisters! Toilet paper wrapped all around them works as well:) I am enjoying reading about your trip.

    Hi,
    So would the toilet paper have been there to cushion the foot or as some kind of antibiotic. Since my foot, shoe and where we were walking were all wet, it would have been a good way to TP the trail.

    God to hear from you. Love to all.
