Well in exactly 2 weeks so will be settin sail for the country of Nepal! Nepal is located north of India and southwest of china. It's where the Himalayas are located, the tallest mountain range in the world where mt. Everest is. I am going there with my roommate ks***iz (chee-Deese) who is from there. He lives in the city Kathmandu which is the capital of the country. He was given the opportunity to go back and visit his family that he hasn't seen in 2 years by our school president at the time. Jim Edge (pres) said that he would cover all the expenses for ks***iz and a friend if he wanted to invite one. Guess who that friend was :)
This opportunity is a once in a lifetime chance! Go to Nepal for free while living with the family of my roommate who happens to be a pastor! For 2 months! At first I was only going for about 10 days, but me and my friend Nick Thomas were driving to our college youth group about 2 months ago and he said "dude that would be cool if you could stay all summer." Ding. The lightbulb came on. Ks***iz's parents had invited me to stay all summer but I was more concerned about saving money for college so I turned them down. But then I started thinking, this would be such a learning experience to study under the wing of a pastor who is a native to the country, get a real feel for culture shock and build lifelong relationships! For free. Dang God I don't deserve this.
