Last night after dinner, Fr. Vong took myself, Fr. An, and the sisters who also live at the seminary out for a drink. The place is right across from the cathedral and is new. On the right is Dinh. He was in my first class 11 years ago and now a deacon. He will be ordained a priest in about six months.
Here I am with two of the sisters. The drinks were amazing, cool and refreshing.
