Viet Nam. What can I say about you?
Already we’ve been having a good time telling eachother stories of “this one time, back when I was in Nam…”
Aside from that our situation here is interesting.
The first floor of our residence is a hallway of rooms rented out by the hour by a pimp for prostitution.
Our work is always changing. Some days we go to play with handicapped children, some days we go to hang out with college kids, some days we support an elderly home and their jewelry making project, and sometimes we go to a local hangout and meet people… everyday is different. It’s interesting as well because while it is okay to be a Christian, evangelism is prohibited. Some of the places we have gone have spies and sometimes we meet strangers who practially interrogate us.
There aren’t many computers around so I will do my best to keep you updated.
Please pray for me and some energy. I don’t actually know how to receive it from the Lord, but I know that I need it. We only have 43 more days on the world race and I like too much to daydream of the future while at the same time have NO IDEA what I will be doing besides spending the holidays with my family.
Rather than take credit for his photos, I encourage you to visit Mark Strattmann’s site here to see what we’ve seen: click here
And my teammate Matt Peters relates his experience of visiting these children in poignant detail: click here
