"I had left the village to find work in Kathmandu. After 5 weeks, I was still not able to find anything. I had promised my family that I'd be sending money soon. I was just wandering aimlessly when this man stopped his car and asked me for directions. When I looked at him his face was very clean, not even a spot of dust. And the clothes he wore was different from what I wore and the inside of the car was something I have never seen in my life. Luckily, I knew the place he was looking for and I gave him directions but he insisted I show him the way in his car. I got in. On the way he started asking me questions. I told him about my struggles and my family and he listened to me. When we arrived, he took out a bundle of money and put it in my hands. Then he said, 'Dai, send this money to your family.' And he drove off. I stood there unable to gather what had just happened. When my senses came back, I felt like I had just met God._x000D_
