Stuart here: Today Naomi and I havegone our different ways - Naomi has gone to a Nepali Bible Study with Sarah and then spent the afternoon with Sarah and the children - and I have been spending time with Paul and visiting some of the places and people I have heard about through our church link with them. This morning I went with him to the office of Nepal Christian Relief Services, which responds to calls for help after local disasters (floods, landslides,...
