Family

We are blessed to have Mitchell's family to help us in Vietnam.

When you arrive in Ho Chi Minh City, no one is allowed in the airport without a ticket. So, when you walk through the airport doors, it is like getting bombarded by the paparrazi. It was so nice to see some familiar faces in the mass of people. Several of Mitchell's aunts, uncles and cousins were there to greet us.

Mitchell's aunt, Co Bi, has let us stay at her home throughout our stay in Vietnam. We will be traveling to different places during our stay here, but she will be our home base. Thankfully, she is also letting us do laundry at her home, too. And, serving us good food.

Also, Mitchell has two cousins, Tao and Naldo, that speak English very well. They have been our translators. Naldo has volunteered, or his mother volunteered him, to travel with us and translate.

The second day we were here, we had the opportunity to visit with Mitchell's family at what they still call Grandfather's home. Mitchell's grandfather and grandmother have both passed away, but some of the family still own the home. This was just a day of family fellowship.

We are thankful for family that can help us out.
