When I was extended an invitation 8 months ago to attend the Christmas program, I did not know that they have planned to honor me by inviting one of the most influential lady member of parliament from their area. Surprisingly, I did not know even before an hour that they have such a plan. Below in the picture you can see a founder member and senior Elder of the Padampokhari Church put the shawl in my shoulders as token of honor and appreciation. I was deeply moved and missed your presence with me in that historic Christmas outreach gathering. As I basically shared in my last email, I only played a small roll in what God has done to bless the nation of Nepal through your life and partnership over the past years. JL, I do not how to describe all these, thank you so much for taking this little man along with you. I really would like to thank YOU and PATT and all the Williams family MEMBERS for loving me and holding my hands so firmly through thick and thin. Had it not been a long standing partnership with you, all these would not happen today.
You can see in the pictures, Pastor Man Bahadur Tamang and another pastor sitting in the front Hanok and one of the most influential lady Member of Parliament invited by the leaders of the Padampokhari Church.

Below in the pictures you can see member of parliament handing over letter of appreciation signed with the signatures leaders of the Padampokhari Church leaders and by her. When see delivered message to the mass she made a remark that "we were watching what has been taking place among the Christians and how and what they have been doing." To me it was an awakening statement she made, knowing further that people around us are watching what we have been doing and evaluating the work that we do for the society. This honor partly includes the appreciation for what we have done in Ratomate Vijay church drinking water years ago. People of society no matter who they are they recognizes what Christians have done. They are grateful for what we have done together for the collective benefit of their society.

Below in the pictures you can see the mass of the people crammed in the compound of a school. I will write in detail in second "update02" heading. I was amazed by seeing a kind of mass gathering at this Christmas program.

Last raw of the pictures were taken by using my own camera. But as the power went off my Elder told me that he could not take as many pictures as it suppose to take. More follows. By the way if you are thinking to put this update in your website, please take out the pictures of the member of parliament and rest you can put. We can put what she said during her address to the mass of Christmas program, but let us not use her pictures. Thank you for understanding this matter thoughtfully. More later.
In His grace and love,
Hanok
