Incommunicado (by Jimmy Buffett)

I suspect that going a week at a time here and there without getting a chance to update this page is going to become a rather common occurrence ... especially when I'm up in the Himalayas with no electricity and certainly no internet! Yes, I finally made it to the mountains and got to experience what it's like to hike up roughly 6000 feet of altitude in three days with an overpacked, overweight backpack and nearly no time to acclimatize. I now know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there would have been no way I could have kept pace with Fu on the A.T. I guess I have quite a bit of training ahead of me for my next trekking experience ... whenever that might be.
The past week on the trial has taught me a lot of things:
1) I'm VERY out of shape!
2) God truly answers prayer in a very clear and very real way.
3) When God tells us that He will provide for us just enough of what we need each day, He's not kidding!
4) The beauty of God's creation knows no bounds.
5) This side of the world does crazy things to your dreams.
6) 14,000 feet seems to be a barrier I can't break ... YET!
7) There's a LOT of evil and spiritual warfare going on over here ... people need to start coming here to pray (seriously, if you're interested let me know)!
8) You don't need to be able to speak the same language to make a true friend.
9) I need a shower ... BAD!!!!
10) Monkeys really DO ride on dogs like in the Taco John's commercials ... and I have the picture to prove it :)
11) When you ride in a car on some of the narrowest, bumpiest, twisty-turny roads with a dropoff of hundreds/thousands of feet and no barrier to prevent you from going over ... riding on the roof is the only way to go!
12) I'm being prayed for (THANK YOU!!!!)
13) GOD IS GOOD!!!!!

And the list goes on. But for now, it's late and I'm tired. I anticipate more stories and certainly more pictures to come before too long. Please keep your comments coming, pray often, and know that I continue to be in good hands here on the far side of the world :)

Jeff....
So good to hear you made it to the "Far Side Of The World"...I give you a great verse just where you are..."The Sovereign Lord is my strength.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer.
He enables me to go on the heights"
Habakkuk 3:19
His strength is with you Jeff, even at 14,000 ft. May God bless you real good! Praying daily for you......Janet
