After the confirmation mass, the catechists who teach in the parish and the older children had a big lunch with the priests and the bishop. Here you see Bishop Joseph on the right. Sitting to his left is Fr. Dien, a saint to me, who spent 15 years in prison for his faith. He is one of many who suffered like that.I am becoming more adventurous, so this time I ate a small chicken. The inside was cleaned and stuffed with herbs. There was not that much meat, but it tasted great.
Everyone knows how much I love smoothies, and we all got one made from fresh watermelon and other fruits. It was refreshing.
A goodbye photo is always fun, and the parishoners indulged me.
And finally, a couple of scenery pictures from on the way back.
