ATC addendum

As Andy mentioned we were blessed with a very encouraging time at ATC. Imagine being with families and individuals serving here in Asia with similar convictions as well as struggles, witnessing amazing testimonies in their lives, learning about what is happening on other campuses and communities, encouraging and uplifting one another, ... etc. Here are a few more random tidbits...

Caleb's dental visit in Thailand revealed his erupting molars. And his dentist is also a balloon artist who made a balloon sword for him with one of her dental tools that blows out air.

Here's a picture of Caleb and Ella at ATC. Ella and her parents serve in Quy Nhon. We just had dinner with them here in Saigon as they are also en route back to their university.

Here are ones on Team Vietnam with our "ao dai's" on. My "ao dai" (including shoes) was my birthday present from our teammate Ruth. She took me to get the fabric, to the tailor, and to get the shoes.

Caleb had McDonald's for one of the off-site lunches during ATC. He had a pineapple pie for dessert! We have yet to see a McDonald's in Vietnam.

For those interested, here's a map showing where we live in Vietnam. Haiphong is that little red dot to the right of Hanoi, in the northern part of Vietnam. Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh City), where we are right now, is way down in the South. The conference was held in Chiang Mai in the northern part of Thailand.

Heading back to Haiphong tomorrow... and starting school on Monday!
