Hi and Namaste, Jai Masi!
The trio from USA (
New Mexico) left this AM. They had a great time here the last 12 days. I
spent much time and energy showing them around but they were very
appreciative and fell in love with Dadeldhura as so many of us do!
The situation at the hospital has gone from bad to worse. The HDCS
people that were here ordered one of the peons to return all the
pharmacueticals to the shop in Dhangadi where they were purchased and
get their money back. A man was arrested for "Stealing"even though he was ordered to do it, HDCS has done nothing to get the
man out of jail!
2 nights ago the HDCS men and P*** a hospital admin, all
disappeared in the middle of the night ( ran away). Later police checks
of the guesthouse revealed a tin trunk of hospital supplies stored in
their room. Now all staff taking anything off the property, even
personal stuff, are required to undergo an inspection and all have to
inventory everything and have the Gov sign off on it. Rumors abound
about more trouble coming this week for staff still on the property and
K*** told me today HDCS is notifying all remaining staff to vacate as
soon as possible as they think the gov will hold people to try to get
HDCS top brass to come out here... could get ugly so please be in prayer
for this place!
Our new building is coming along but I am told they will pour the
roof this next Saturday. Then it needs 22 days of drying before they can
apply the plaster to the walls and 15 more for that to dry before we
can install plumbing and electrical. I am discouraged about the time
line so am thinking and praying about sending Diane home as planned and
changing my ticket to extend for a few more weeks! What a decision- but
if I dont get these girls in their new place, who will do it? And what
would become of them under the new gov management if they don't get
moved soon?
Kooyie!
We had a really interesting time visiting the
local jail on Thursday.We had a taste of what it was like to be
incarcerated in a Nepali prision for several hours. A team of 3 drs and 5
others, Nepali and Bideshi, went and did medical evals on all who were
sick and we saw about 40 men and women all knitting already! with metal
knitting needles! They knit till they run out of yarn then rip it out
and do it all again! We took a puzzle and tooth brushes for
everyone! That day one of the inmates prayed to accept Chr-st and
requested a hindi Bible as he is from India! Pray I can find one. He
read a tract that was given to him at Easter by the team from our
ch-u-ch that visited them the first time.!
A Day later, a lady from the ch-u-ch who is a pharmacist filled all
the perscriptions and she and I delivered them to the jail again and
instructed each inmate how to take them. We plan to visit every Thursday
while I am here and pray the Ch-u-ch will take responsibility to keep
up this ministry in my absence.
Thanks for all your prayers for us here. It is a time of great uncertainty!
Well time to go for lunch so all for now!

Diane is better , Praise G-d!
