Beauty!

Monday, September 27  

There are a set of older twin girls her named Tonia and Sonia. They hardly now any English but they are so sweet. They’ll come up to me and hold my hand. (In Bangladesh, holding hands is a sign of good friendship. So you’ll see old or young, males or females holding hands.) Anyways, we’ll try to talk to them but they can’t understand much English. We’ve managed to point to things and learn Bangali words but not very much conversation happens. Even though they don’t get to speak with us, all they want to do is be around us. It’s so special. We sat outside the kids rooms this evening just before we went in to say goodnight. We heard them start their worships in their rooms and they sang their songs so loudly! It was so precious to hear such energetic and happy voices. The boys room wanted a story and song. The younger middle girls room wanted kisses so they crowded around us and gave us kisses. The older girls wanted a song and kiss (apa) so we sang and gave them hugs and kisses. They smuthered us with love.  They are such happy, beautiful children. Have I mentioned that all the people here in Bangladesh are beautiful! Every one of them!
