So much graditude…

…for everyone that said yes, that said prayers, that gave words of encouragement before and after the trip, that where there when I needed someone and put money on the table.  Thank you.  I’ve left a piece of my heart in Nepal that someday I will have to go back to.  The children are beyond adorable and melted my heart on more then one occasion.  And the shire generosity and humanity of the Nepali people blew me away.

I have so many stories, photos and videos to share.  I scarcely don’t know where to begin.  I feel a huge obligation to the people of Nepal not to forget everything I saw.  And to tell the rest of the world how incredibly humble, happy and resilient the Nepali people are.

I’m still working through everything that a trip like this gives you, but I promise to share more as the desire stirs in my heart.  And as I find the words that the Nepali people deserve.

A quick glimpse into Nepal.  My wonderful host family in the village of Phulali.  We were the first westerns to ever stay in the village let alone help build a school.  Honor doesn’t go far enough. Boys enjoying the view while reading

This is the view of Phulali as we hiked into the village.  The pile of rock and dirt to the right is where the school will be.

The view as we left the village just 7 days later.

A progression shot of the site.  All the rocks were moved, crushed, dirt sifted by us or the incredibly strong Nepali workers.  No earth movers here!Bright, resilient, and giddy with happiness these are just three of the girls that will benefit from the school.

And just a few shots of Nepal life.

My life will never be the same in the best way possible.  Nepal has a piece of my heart forever and I can’t wait to share more stories of these beautiful people.

Humbled and so much gratitude.  Life is good.
