The first days back in Vietnam always make me nostalgic and homesick. Yes, I do miss home--beautiful and comfortable America and Hong Kong--especially when we came back to a room infested with rice weevils (from a bag of glutinous rice we left behind), worms emerging from cracked tile floors in the bathroom, and a big cockroach running under our bed! But God is good. The three of us, together with 5 pieces of luggage, made it safely back to Vietnam after 3 flights and 2 long layovers. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits!
