We knew that the VBS would grow throughout the week, but we had no idea how quickly. It more than doubled on Tuesday, as we had 33 students! Here are some pictures of our day:

After VBS we went to a restaurant called The Himalayan Yak, featuring Tibetan food. We cook two of our meals every day, so we tend to have a nicer meal once a day. The kids were good sports and tried all the exotic dishes that Pastor Chris ordered. We ate family style and passed everything around. Many kids were surprised at how much they like yak blood sausage and goat!

After lunch we put in two and a half hours of work on their physical plant. Painting, cleaning, weeding were the activities of the day. The kids really did a great job.

After a light dinner we went to visit a Hindu temple. Whenever I take a group to this church he likes to take them to visit religious sights. When we go to these sights, we emphasize that we are not going in order to worship or pray but simply to learn. I have found that these visits really help to solidify in the minds of the youth the distinctions between Christianity and other religions, and they become more confirmed in their faith.
