Dear Friends,

How are you doing?  I am writing this letter at Schooley’s monutain in USA.  I left the hospital in early May.  LMI recommended me to go to USA, so I came to LM USA in late May.  I was very tired in Bangladesh, but beautiful nature and love of surronding people healed me.  When I walked on the beautiful hill of Schooley’s mountain, I felt that God is talking to me ‘ I will take care of you.’.

After two weeks, I moved to another mission, where there were twelve sisters.  There I helped in the garden and kitchen.  I learned a lot from eighty-four year old sister in the garden.  In the kitchen I had to work with people from many countries.  I learned that peolple are different.  At this mission, I met a German missionary couple who had served in Japan for twenty-one years.  I could talk about the experinece in Bangladesh to the wife and she understood me very well.  We prayed together.  I was very happy to meet with them.

After I stayed in that mission for three weeks, I went to Toronto.  There I attended the seminar of cross cultural communication.  I learned that I need opneness to communicate people.

Then I came back to that mission again.   I was given the book ”Purpose driven life” from the sister head.  In this book I learned that God is not intersted in what we did but He is intersted in how we can love people.   And I also learned that I need to communicate with people to love people.

I went back to Toronto again in late July and attended the seminar of language acquisition.  I was trained to communicate with people there.  On Aug. 16th, I came back to Schooley’s mountain.

In this three months God showed me His love through many people, and I learned a lot.  I will go back to Bangladesh on Aug. 20th..  I don’t know the next step in Bangladesh, but I believe God will guide me.

Please pray for
1.    God shows me the next step cleary.
2.    Further study of Bengali
3.    Jichi-idai-mae Christ Church which sends me
4.    My mother and my sister who don’t know Jesus Christ

In Jesus,
 Megumi
