a plague and a thanksgiving

Dear Dr. Rod and John,
Greetings from Nepal.

It has been some days since I wrote to you. I believe this email finds you in sound health and we are fine too. We thank for your untiring efforts to help us out.

Recently, a plague of diarrhoea claimed more than 400 lives in the upper midwest Nepal mainly in Jajarkot and neighboring districts and many more have been affected badly. Also many people lost lives and displaced in the landslides and flood triggered by incessant rain and will appreciate your prayers for them.

I have also attached the group picture of the 6th batch of Surkhet training centre that I received today and believe it will mean you much how people are eager to learn from the Word of the Lord.

Please let us know how we could pray for you too. Thanking you, Dil
