The day is finally here when we no longer count the days but use words instead, such as "the day after tomorrow". That is what it is now, the D-day of departure. Clearly, there are so many emotions and feelings going on right now, too many to describe. We are simply so very excited to actually go and do this, to actually work on our dream.
It seems like it is so far away, still, you know, to actually be able to see a child saved from the steets or worse. It seems so far fetched, here in the rich Nordic countries, to imagine that a child could actually live on a street corner or under a bridge or much worse. But, we all know that it is true, which makes for a lot of interesting thoughts when it comes to what we do with what we know. How does knowledge affect us?
We will try to keep you informed as we go about setting up this orphanage in Nepal. This first trip has as its goal of actually finding a proper place to have the orphanage, with whom we should partner, setting up a local board of directors and make some headway in preparing for getting the orphanage up and running under the premises that we want.
It is a dauting task and it gets bigger the closer we get...but we serve a God that is able to handle it. Amazing, we know, that it is not up to us but to Him. That will have to be the final word on this blog before we travel to Nepal on Thursday.
Stay tuned for pictures and updates!
Andreas
Exciting!!!
