We haven't seen Leor, our Bangladeshi friend for ten years. Now we had the chance to catch up as we hosted him at our home. He brought a friend along, Nripen. Both these brothers serve in their nation in the Baptist Convention. Having God's people from other nation staying with us is a blessing. We have mission education right at home and the girls enjoy getting to know them, their nation and be in prayer partnership.
Ash is very keen to welcome guests. She had her room cleaned with Nat and have the bed linen laid properly, with their new colourful blankets rolled up and tied with a ribbon to be as close as a welcoming hotel. Towels laid out. Fresh drinking water was served daily in the room to ensure guests were well hydrated in our hot weather. It was another chance for the girls to learn service and hospitality.
Nripen is a child-friendly man. He loves the kids. The girls had difficulty pronouncing his name. Therefore, it was made easier when Nripen introduced his nick-name, "Uncle Nipu". Uncle Nipu talked incessantly about Bangladesh. The girls had their social study lesson of this land with many needs.
