This morning I was instant messaging a friend when the lady that lives below me called up and told me that there was a protest on the road near our house. I hopped on my bike and rode down to see what was happening. The mob was gone but they had set fire to several burning tires in the road as a sign of protest.
Thousands of people broke curfew yesterday and protested all over the nation. The curfew was given to Kathmandu only, but the army enforced it in many parts of Nepal. In Polkara, they killed a man who was protesting and in another district the army opened fire on a large gathering injuring many. I wish I could tell you what the outcome of all this unrest will be, but I have no idea. What I do know is that as of today there is no good solution. It’s comforting to know that no matter what happens God is in control. Not just allowing to to happen, but is controling it all. Lord, may this chaos and conflict bring You glory.

My prayers will be bent toward Nepal even more than they usually are. Through all of this I am praying that God will use you in a great way. It is such a blessing to have the peace of God in our hearts. No matter what goes on around you, you can have peace knowing that God sees it all and is in complete control. Truly, what an awesome thing it is to be a Christian!

Hi Nathan! I read a article in the LA Times about Nepal and the protest and I decided
to look on your web site. It’s looking pretty scary out there…. but I know you’re
in the center of God’s will and you’re going to be fine. Just wanted you to know
that you’re in my prayers.
P.S. I miss Asha ; - )
