a group of us are headed to Hanoi, Vietnam for a 10 day missions trip. I am writing this blog in the Los Angelos airport while waiting to get on a 14 hour flight to Taiwan and then to Hanoi. On the way to the airport in Portland today we had a blowout on the van and called and had my son Seth come get us with another van. We made it on time. I lost my baggage claim ticket between Portland and LA and the lady at the ticket counter said she can’t guarantee that my suitcase will get on the plane with me. Oh well, I wore the same cloths for two months on my bicycle trip so 10 days will be a piece of cake, for me anyway, not sure how the rest of the team will like it!! While in Vietnam we will be doing a lot of prayer walking and praying with pastors. It will be a wonderful trip with lots of good food and we will meet lots of very committed believers who love Jesus with all their heart. I expect that I will grow a lot spiritually on the trip and I will work hard not to grow physically. I brought my little portable scale that I took on my bicycle trip and I will be careful not to gain any weight. Love you all. Dee
