I am very much back to teaching at the mission. It is going along just fine. I added another class for my beginners which will hopefully speed things up a little and give them more of a chance to practice speaking. I can tell they are improving and gaining confidence which is rewarding for them and me--I actually am helping them learn! The sisters are all back into their routines as well--teaching, working in the sewing center, taking care of the young girls who stay there. I feel very comfortable here in Mymensingh and at times a little bored! Can you believe that?! I am bored, living in Bangladesh, teaching English, living at a convent, riding rickshaws, getting myself into accidental situations because of language barriers.... I think it is just a little midway slump and the fact that Thailand was so great. I am sure things will pick up again and I will find myself in new adventures....like when my dear friend Emily Alsum comes for a visit in a month, and traveling to Nepal for our South Asia retreat (for all MCC workers in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) as well as a trip to see the Taj Mahal and other wonders of India. Not to mention fun weekends in Dhaka, life with the Sisters and traveling around Bangladesh.
oh yeah, and I joined an all male, muslim gym the other day. More stories to come about that. HA!
