We're half way through our outreach time in Bangladesh!!!! I can't believe how fast time is going!!! I had a long chat with my leader today about how excited I am to come home and see everyone and be with you all. I know that there are going to be a lot of things that I will appreciate when I am back in Canada. I can't wait to come home and be with you all!!! Continue reading ...
So, we're now in Khulna and we just worked at a conference for the weekend for the people who work for a local Christian Bangla organization. It was just like the True City Conference in the way that there were big group morning sessions and then in the afternoon they went to one of 5 different workshops. I led the workshop on worship with two friends, and it went quite well. Also, a couple of the other students did the major teachings in the morning. It was really fun and we made a lot of...

Since we arrived in Bangladesh, I haven't been really sick. I had some nausea the first week or so, but other than that, I've been fine. Others have had diarrhea, but not me yet. We don't exactly eat healthily here. We kind of just eat what is served us, and we often go to the market to get some somewhat North American comfort food (oreo's, chocolate, pringles and the like). I got a custom made salwar kameez (our outfits), its pink and really nice. If you're not sure what a salwar kamee... Continue reading ...
 We're in Dhaka for a couple days. That's a picture of the busy streets of Dhaka above. We actually leave for Koulna tomorrow via train early in the morning. On Saturday we took a 7 hour bus ride from Khagrachari to Dhaka. Our last few days in Khagrachari were quite busy, but it was good. On the last day there, we got to visit some churches in in villages where Matt Laskey went with his team in 2006. It was a great time to see the fruit after a few years. It was sad for us to say goodb... Continue reading ...
Well, this weekend here in Bangladesh is the Bangla New Year, so there are lots of festivals and parades. Yesterday we went to an afternoon church service and did what we call the DTS program (Drama, Testimony, Song) but we also had a teaching and someone explain the skit. It went really well; the village we were at was across a river and we had to stand up in a leaky canoe. In the morning we helped the guy speaking plan his sermon, and we added another song to our set; the whole service... Continue reading ...

Here's part of another email Sara sent to her mom. We're doing well. As you know, its easter weekend. Yesterday we went to a church that is literally a 2 minute walk from our house here in Khagrachari. At the end of the service one of us gave her testimony and we all sang "In Christ Alone." I really love this little city. The main ministry we are doing is teaching English to the locals and at an elementary school. When we teach the locals, we really just build friendships. The people here are ... Continue reading ...
Hello everyone. Here is an update that Sara sent in an email to her Mom after her arrival. It provides some information about her first few days in Bangladesh.
"The flights were good. The sixteen hour flight was really long but Emirates is an excellent airline. We got to see the city of dubai. You can definitely tell it's the richest city in the world. When I first arrived, I wasn't feeling well so I haven't eaten a lot of Bangla food. It's mostly curry chicken, pitas and rice. I'll let yo... Continue reading ...
