Thankful for safe travel

Bryan Nardi and I have been working at Bayalpata hospital for six weeks with two full days off. We decided to use a week allowed by the program for some rest and relaxation. 

With the monsoon gaining momentum several roads are washed out north of us, but our biggest challenge turned out to be leaving the hospital driveway, for which we needed a tractor tow.  The rest of our 12 hour jeep travel to Nepalgunj and on to Pokhara (for Bryan and me) was uneventful. 

Nardi meets his wife, who is traveling in the region, in Kathmandu. We're very relieved and thankful this morning for her safe arrival in Kathmandu given that her flight departed at roughly the same time, from the same origin, and a route that was too close for comfort to that taken by the Malaysia Airlines flight that was downed.  

Please join me in prayer for the families of the lost and the many victims from around the world.
