FIVE YEARS IN BANGLADESH

SOMETIME IN OUR FIRST YEAR I PICKED UP THIS STICKER AT PIZZA HUT”S CELEBRATION OF 5 YEARS IN BANGLADESH!

I hoped to be able to celebrate 5 years in Bangladesh like Pizza Hut did.

We celebrated by bringing in Chinese food from the Midnight Sun restaurant.

My wish to be in Bangladesh at least five years came true!! Whoopeee!

THE MORE THE MERRIER

Only one time was I the one with one foot out the door!  That lasted 6-8 minutes till I got crammed farther into the bus

Always room for one more?

The Driver and I!

As Pastor, it was a privilege to be able to do the baby dedication for Carver!  His family sang a very special song they had written for the occasion.

ALICE WENT TO THE MEMORIAL CHRISTIAN HOSPITAL FOR SOME ROUTINE MEDICAL TESTS.  ALL OUR TESTS WERE NORMAL!

This Day is Also Our 43rd Wedding Anniversary!

IN OUR LIVING ROOM

My Sweet Wife of 43 years and I!

 

THE HOTEL WE WANTED TO STAY AT DIDN’T HAVE THEIR BASIC ROOMS AVAILABLE SO WE STAYED AT HOTEL PALACE INN.  It is a nice hotel for the price of 990 Indian rupees ($20 USD).  They had room service with some tasty Bengali food.  The Hotel facility may have been 2 Star but their service was 5 Star!

MOON DAS, a very helpful worker who took care of room service!

OUR TEAM DID WIN THE FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT ON SATURDAY EVENING, with Masum scoring a goal in each of the overtime periods!

AFTER A CANCELLED FLIGHT BY BIMAN THE DAY BEFORE DEPARTURE DAY HAS FINALLY COME!

GOOD FRIENDS SAY GOOD-BYE!
