Well, here it well into July already! Boy! Time is flying by!
So...here's hoping everyone had a ...

If we were home, we would have been at my family reunion! Happy day!
However, I'm happy that I was able to video chat!
I love it! We didn't even dream of this in the '80s when my parents were in Africa.
Maybe those who did dream of this had relatives living far away! Anyway--THANKS!
How we would have loved it then like we love it now!
Letters took two weeks, if we were lucky, and phoning in those days was so expensive that
we mostly only phoned when there was bad news. Yikes!
By the way, letters and packages usually take two weeks to get here too--most of the time!
Anyway, it's now the monsoon season.
This was a rather light rain. It can become torrential! It was so bad a few weeks ago
that crops were tragically destroyed.

One of Ramon's patients, a very elderly man, told him that he couldn't remember such a storm
since he was a boy!
I admit that it was a little scary and we prayed!
The past three months have been difficult:

Look:
Man! These two pictures are from this article which I give the credit to:

Here's the road to the church:
Yep, flats are the way to go!
I'm very happy to say that the cars and motorcycles wait for you to pass so they don't splash you!
This is on the outskirts of town,
and thankfully they're working on it,as there are potholes in the potholes of the potholes! (Not kidding!)
It's also HOT and HUMID! Of course, that's to be expected.
Everyone stays in the shade as much as possible,
unless they have to work outside--and they work hard, all day long, day after day,
week after week, month after month, year after year!
I was happy to find these ladies who were able to work while sitting down--at least for awhile!
They were very happy for me to take their picture!
Now we haven't heard that fuel is in low supply again, but we have seen very long lines at the
fuel stations again, like we did during the crisis. This is only a small part of a very long line and we have recently seen very long lines. Let's hope everyone just accidentally had to get fuel at the same time!
Sometimes I wonder why I took a certain picture--like this one. Perhaps I was
wondering if Deep Stationary was selling nice and thick notebooks!
Look! Here's a truck driver who is a fan of the Titanic movie!
Do you think Leonardo, Kate, and James know they have a big fan in Kathmandu?
It looks nice!
I have seen Che, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, AC/DC, and others many times on the trucks
and buses, and have put some pictures up before. This was the first time I've seen scenes from a movie!
Well, I'll end for now with two pics from school. The other day I found some of the third graders
relaxing by their door after recess while waiting for their teacher to show. I told them I liked
how calm, cool, and collected they were!
Then I found the fourth graders at study. They are as sweet and nice as they look!
More later! I hope I'll have pictures from Ramon. He's been so busy and hasn't even
taken any pictures since we've been back.
Have a nice day and thanks for your prayers!
