Last year, Lich and Minh were with us in Phat Diem. This fall they are entering their final year of study, and are presently in pastoral missions helping the poor. Before they left, they took me to visit their families. Here is Minh's family. He is in the back row, last person on the left. His father is next to me, and his mother is in the blue dress. They are farmers and were in the middle of harvesting the rice.
This is Lich's family. Lich is in the back row on the right. Next to him is his father, and his mother is in the black dress.
I had the best time at both houses. I was served tea and cold drinks, and we had many laughs. I have to say that the children were fun, and we played a while before I left.
