TODAY IN BANGLADESH IT WAS EID-ul-Ajha, which is the Eid in which they sacrifice an animal to in recognition of when Abraham took his son to Mt. Moriah to be sacrificed. Each family decides whether to sacrifice a camel (rarely in Bangladesh), a cow, or a goat. We had 13 cows and 9 goats in our parking garage this morning in prep for this event. We live in an apartment with 32 apartments. Here in a nearby field there are many Bengalis participating in the special prayers before the sacrifices happen.

A BIG DAY TODAY FOR US and for the FOOTBALL (SOCCER) LOVING FANS. This morning my son, Austin, and his family left for America after 2 1/2 years working with MCC. Also tonight is the opening of the WORLD CUP 2010 tournament. The flags are waving high here in Bangladesh as Bengalis are showing their loyal support for either Brazil or Argentina. There are a few that would support other countries but they are few.

Yesterday, I took my grandsons to the barber and here they are on the rickshaw that brought us to our apartment.

Pruitt drinking his MoJo, Jensen gazing at the playing field, and Riley grabbing his chin! Oh, also the rickshaw walla with the perfect pose! 🙂 I would have brightened up the photo more, but I would have lost the walla’s tupi!

MYSELF WITH AUSTIN’S FAMILY just before good-byes are said. They are leaving at 3 in the morning for the airport heading home to Canton, Ohio, U.S.A. It was nice to have them here the last 29 months. It will be different when we return in the fall and they won’t be here. Alice was the photographer so she couldn’t be in the photo. Alice had fixed a great breakfast casserole for our supper along with her special grape-nut pudding.

SUNSET FROM OUR ROOFTOP: I wanted to catch this sunset with the sun a little higher in the sky but was a few minutes later than I would have liked. Here is what awaited me when I arrived on the rooftop. The mosque is a 4-5 minute walk from our apartment. I would have loved to have those birds fly between me and the sun!
