After breakfast we left to meet Doyle from Gopalgonj. The long way, thru the village, as the detour around the new bridge project is still not passable by car. They got an earlier start, so we met them just this side of the Rupsha River bridge in Khulna. Miss Aleigha had spent a week with us at Christmas time and now they were returning the favor, also inservice days at their school since these teachers don’t get School Meetings or even a fellow teacher in the same school building.
We needed groceries, but everything was closed since today is the Muslim holiday Eid, after their month of fasting. We picked up fresh ruti from our favorite stand where they are the best combo of crispy, flaky, chewy goodness and drove out to Shipyard road. I’ve been wanting to take the girls there ever since we’d been there on our hunt for a local dentist. Along the paved road that goes past the Bangladesh Naval Base we got out and took a view of the wide river and its ships 🚢 🛳️ . On the way back we counted goats 🐐 that live in the lumberyards that line that road..
Back at the house when I came down the stairs from putting a load of laundry in, Jaira comments that she was thinking it was Miss Christina up there. Annslie keeps asking “Where is Miss Christina?”
Visited with Pim(one of Tulshi’s young friends) awhile. He knows pretty good English so I was asking him Lots of questions🙃 Found out that both of Tulshi’s parents are gone! His mom died sometime in that 9 month gap between us and the last missionary family.
