My bags are packed, and my wings are ready. Nepal is right around the corner. I have an 18 hour layover in Bangkok before I get to Kathmandu on 31 Aug, so Bangkok is gonna get a little Richard Rigby, Jr. for a little while. I have about 100 lbs worth of books, Bibles, paper, pencils, dental supplies, and more to give to the schools and orphanage that Hope & Home sponsors, all courtesy of family and friends. Thank you so very much for all that. I can't wait to give it away. I also want to say a big thank you to all my sponsors out there. I have raised $2,740 of the $3,000 it will cost to make this trip possible. $200 of that has already been spent on English Language and Grammar books for children trying to learn English as a second language, and I plan to help Hope & Home by donating $540 to help the orphanage with whatever needs that they need met. God is so good, and I can't wait to give you guys updates on my experiences over there.
