On May 29, in the late afternoon, I pulled my body the last few meters into Everest Base Camp. It had taken eight days and a battle with altitude sickness, but finally I had reached one of my life long dreams; climb to Mt. Everest Base Camp. At just over 17,600 feet, it was one of the hard things I have done physically, but it was all worth it. I have tons to tell you, so look back tomorrow for the whole story and lots of pictures. Thank you for all your prayers. I know now more than ever that this area of the world needs Jesus.

Congratulations! I was thinking about you Sunday while we were hiking (vs climbing) through the mountains here in Carlisle. BTW…I think you meant to say you arrived at base camp on May 29. Can\’t wait to see the pictures.

Congrats sir !
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who
publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who
says to Zion your God reigns.
