Our first day in Nepal!
Full day one in Nepal. What better way to spend it than going to the RTO (Remote Translation Office). It was so refreshing to see this little bethel, and to think about just how much is done here to spread the good news to those in the Nepali field. We really appreciate those 17 hardworking brothers and sisters.
The odd and fun things we have seen… within 24 hours… [updated]
Well, we made it to Katmandu! Very busy city, especially in the area we are staying. The roads are dry and dusty, so we masked up!
In this post you will see some of the things we saw during the first 24 hours here. Some strange vehicles, crazy wiring and things like that.
The time has come…
So, we finally made the journey to Nepal!
Saying goodbyes in Buffalo!
Visiting our friends on our last day and enjoying some good food.
The Fastest Yak
So, a few months ago for Family Worship, we did some projects about the history and culture of Nepal and Bhutan. Michelle made an amazing video! The video is available for registered friends and family only.
the Time Difference…
Nepal is one of only three time zones with a 45-minute offset from UTC. – Fun Fact
Since we will want to hear from our friends and family, here is a chart of the time difference between New York, Nepal and California. The best times to communicate live are highlighted.
