Helps beyond our Imaginations

 

 

 

 On February 15th the alarm went off much to early. I awoke in my half-furnished apartment and smiled a smile of excitement and anticipation. The first team of 28 women were arriving that afternoon and what an amazing job they had before them. By the time the second team arrived my excitement was coupled with urgency to finish what was started. In a little over three and half weeks, two teams of 62 women transformed the school at the home. 

 

Not only so, but they also gave all of the rooms a very bright colorful makeover. One girl told me, " Aunty tonight we will sleep so nicely." But mostly, the women touched the lives of the children and showed them the meaning of true love.

I would like to thank all the women that came and gave their time and all the women that could not come but gave time and gifts for the children. You truly changed their lives.  

 

Uttam with the Lord
Healing comes in different ways

 

 

 

 The day I arrived in Bangladesh there was a country-wide strike so I was unable to do much. The next day I had the option to go see Utam who has been sick since I have been in Bangladesh, so more than 2 years with Leukemia.  Of course I had been longing to see him ever since I heard he had made a turn for the worse in November. 

 

Little did I know that that would be the last time I saw him. He would die two days later a little before we made it out to the hospital. As I prayed for him two days before I prayed that God would heal him. And as I watched them burry him, I felt God remind me that he did heal him. 

Please pray for the children at the home who were close to Utam.
