Almost finished.

My time in Bangladesh is coming to an end. We have 7 days left and it's not enough.

Disclaimer: This post will most likely be random bits of information and thoughts.
My apologies in advance. 

I've come to really love Bangladesh and the current thought of finishing things up here and heading back to Germany makes me sad. I am super stoked to head back to see everyone, especially the bestie who has been in China this whole time. But Bangladesh is such an ... interesting place and we have become a family while here. So, the dynamics of re-entering the "western" world is ... not so appealing. I like it here. I've made some good friends.

-- ah, friends and Germany and reunions. The reunions are going to be gnarly. Lots of hugs, screams, How-are-yous? and most likely some tears. Yes, I've become that girl who cries at almost everything. ;) I just love life, what can I say?


-- Bangladesh.... what words?  it has been amazing. God has shown up and stretched me and challenged me. Of course I wish I had more time. I always need more time. Always. There are projects I would love to continue and finish before we head out. But my race against the clock is one Im afraid I might lose.

--Bangladeshi babies are every where and I love it. The children I've come across on the streets selling candies, flowers, anything else they may have, have been the most amazing children I've ever seen.

-- I never thought that I could/would but I think I've gotten use to people stopping and staring at me. :) I have some fun pictures because of it too! :)

-- We went to Cox's bazaar a couple weeks ago. It was BEAUTIFUL! I would LOVE to live there one day. A little house right next to the beach. Not many people around. *Sigh* Heaven. It's the longest Sea Beach in the world. I think.

After Cox's Bazaar I went to Syhlet for about a week and we visited some of the largest tea gardens, in area and production, in the world. It was really cool to see where tea comes from and the people that work the gardens.

There are many many more stories of God showing up and Him working in my life. But as usual, i've seen something shiny go by and I've lost all train of thought. Also THERE ARE PICTURES from each of the points and I will edit them and post them shortly. :)


Love all!

Until next time, go lay hands on a stranger and pray for them. (I've been doing that a lot lately.)
