Small world
On our flight from Delhi to Kathmandu we met a group of LDS single adults who are doing a humanitarian project in Nepal with www.choicehumanitarian.org. It turns out that the branch president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kathmandu is employed as the country director for Choice Humanitarian. He will be out in a rural area working with this group of volunteers who will do a construction project and hold clinics. When I emailed him to find out about Church services in Kathmandu, he mentioned that he would be out of town this weekend, but we have arranged to meet the missionary couple based in Kathmandu who will help us find the Church building; the mission president in New Delhi referred us to them for assistance since, "street addressees are a novelty in Kathmandu." Church services in Kathmandu are held on Saturday rather than Sunday, since that is the day most people have off from work. One of the Choice Humanitarian participants we met, Eric, is an ER physician. Many of the people in the group working with Choice Humanitarian are from Washington, DC. One sister we met is an attorney in New York City.

Our plane today is also full of many Europeans who are likely going trekking judging by their gear. We are hoping for a glimpse at the Himalayas as we fly into Kathmandu. Hopefully it will be clear.
