Tomorrow we begin the journey home. It's not the three month boat ride that it used to be, allowing for reflection on past experiences and anticipation of the future. Instead, it's 40hours of shifting around trying to be comfortable, walking around finding gates and allowing time to pass, and hauling around bags, Grace, tickets, and passports.
The past week has presented many opportunities. A few include:
- A visit to a tribal village for the first day of a tribal renewal conference. We were able to see how this group of people lives differently from the rest of Bengalis, learn about the economic challenges facing them, and witness their response to the message of Hope.
- Tea at the home of a hospital employee. We were able to meet his wife and kids, see their home and walk through a village near the hospital.
- Visit a working Compassion site and the home of one of the social workers.
- Bekah was able to spend a couple of hours in the OR, finally believing that Jon has been learning how to do surgery. During this time, she watched as they fixed a baby's club feet, repaired a fistula, and cut a tumor out of a man's chest.
We will see you all in a couple of days...in person or on our computer screens.
