I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season! I'm enjoying my first Christmas in Bangladesh. There have been lots of fun events to keep me busy, so I haven't had a chance to be too homesick. We had several Christmas Tea's for the hospital employees in the last two weeks leading up to Christmas. On the 23rd, we had a candlelight service/caroling with all the American/European workers, so that was fun to sing Christmas carols in English. Today (the 24th), we celebrated Christmas with a yummy brunch. Later on we'll have a Christmas dinner and gift exchange! Tomorrow, the 25th, there is a big celebration at church and then I will be going to several of my Bengali coworkers homes for tea. It will be a very different Christmas experience, but I'm looking forward to it.
Please pray for all those who are hearing for the first time about the true reason for Christmas! Please pray for me as I will be sharing this with my coworkers and patients this Christmas season.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi Christel, Kyle Cullum here, remember me from Asbury? I saw in the Asbury mag that you were in Bangladesh...very cool...good for you. I was in Kolkata for about 4 years so I know (at least some) of how you feel. Not to take too much of your time...but...one question and one statement...Q - How long are you going to be in Bangladesh? S- please let me know if you would like to be connected with any of the people I know over there...I think at least 2 of the people I know still are working in Kolkata...If you wanted a break or diversion or visa run or whatever...they work for Word Made Flesh doing a business called Sari Bari (former prostitutes making marketable items out of saris and what not as an alternative job).
