It’s all uphill from here

This morning our supervisors, Coop and D, left us to go back to Chandigarh for the month. Last night our guide/interpreter Muden came up and will be with us for the rest of the month.
Today we are taking a day of rest. We’re going to eat, sleep, pray, and stay in the Word.
Tomorrow we leave our “comfortable” hotel and head up a mountain with shepherds, complete with waking up at 5am to trek at a 50 degree angle with one, maybe two meals a day. I am excited not only to share the Father’s love with these 40-60 year old men, but also to start this extreme weight loss program.
The plan is to spend the first week with on the mountain all the way through, then next Friday come back into the city, meet up with the girls (who will be touring surrounding villages) and stay for the weekend. After that each week will likely consist of 4-5 days on the mountain, 2 days off.
Pray for strength, we’re going to need it. Pray for endurance and that our minds would be constantly focused on the Father and the leading of our Helper rather than… uh, our own survival.

Thanks you for your continued prayers
Grace and peace,
Micah
