Gotta get back in time

Hello from Nepal to all our family, friends and loved ones,
Today's blog is about some experiences we had at the beginning of our trip. We are going back in time like the movie series "Back to the Future" which were released some years ago. When we began our trip and we were in Singapore and we had one day to see as much of the city as we could possible squeeze in. So, as you can well imagine we were on the run, heading every which direction at the same time. Shortly after noon we were hunting for a museum we were interested in. We were standing on a street corner trying to get our sense of direction. I was standing a short distance from the others, taking in the sights and sounds of Singapore. As I was standing there, a young lady from Singapore stopped and asked me if she could help us find what we were looking for. I couldn't help but wonder what other responsibilities she may have had to do at that time, but yet she still was willing to help us poor souls who were obviously lost or looking for something. I thought of how sweet it was for her to help.
One other story I'd like to share is when we arrived in Kathmandu. Memory had made many of our travel plans over the internet with a travel agent in Kathmandu. She sent many emails back and forth arranging our plans. He said he would pick us at the airport. As we made our way through customs and all the outdoor crowds of people, we saw a sign with "Memory Lamfers" on it. What a relief to see that sign. They then loaded all our heavy luggage on the roof of their van, took us to our hotel, unloaded all our luggage and stayed with us for another two hours explaining things we needed to know and helping us with our cell phone. They finally just gave one of their phones to use while we are here. They have also contacted us during the trip to check on some plans.
Both of these stories show me God's generous and giving spirit is alive and well the world over. Without these people in our lives, who knows where we could be now.
Finally, Tom and Bill have gone on a two day journey to some remote villages in the mountains to visit some church planters. Memory and I are going into the heart of Pokhara to stay for these two days so we will not post any blogs for the next couple of days. From our hearts to yours, we will talk soon.
With God's Blessings,
Mark Lamfers
