Thanks | 7:36 a.m. Dec. 3, 2008

Thanks for the interesting article. My sister-in-law and her husband are currently serving a Humanitarian mission for the LDS Church in Kathmandu. While Nepal doesn't allow them to prostelyte, there is a branch of the Church there. They may answer questions.

They have helped many people there through distribution of goods like wheelchairs and have headed water projects there. They've also taught English to the locals.

Under their guidance, the first LDS Nepalese were able to go to Manila and go through the temple there.
