Sunday.
Vivienne arrived today and Agnes and I met her at the airport, so at present we are a household full of women (4). I,ll bet Grahame is glad he is half way around the country. He has had a day of travelling on bumpy roads and is very weary. We had trouble with the photocopier running out of toner. It is very complicated getting more and $80 is a lot of money here. Anyway, we were told to shake the toner thingy, so we can photocopy a bit longer, but none of us knew how to get it out. So Liat came to the rescue. She is quite fit and strong, so she picked up the whole photocopier and gave it a shake and hey!presto! it worked. Today we are preparing for more teacher training tomorrow afternoon here at the Guest House.
All the staff will be here. We took Vivienne and Liat to the Tusal hostel this afternoon to see the girls, argued with the taxi drivers over fares; and introduced Vivienne to Nepali culture. The other day, we were walking down the street and there was a little cafe with people having a meal at the little tables, and there was a cow standing half-way inside maybe hoping for a morsel. Everyone took it in their stride. Must be a normal occurrence. Also today, there was a big black bull sitting on the footpath and a lady was trying to give him a drink from a water bottle. He seemed totally disinterested. After my last experience being chased by a bull with all my grocery bags, I give them a wide berth. We were pleased to hear that the little church at Gorkha that only had a handful of believers when we were there last April, has exploded since the gospel concert we did there. They hired a bigger building, and then a bigger one in a hotel for church. They have over 200 now. Robyn
