Sunday Visiting - Part III - The Way Home

So, on the way home we visited four houses! In a caravan, our motorbikes first brought us to Thanh's house.

Thanh's mother gave us some much needed refreshing drinks. She lives in the countryside and is a rice farmer. In fact, all of the seminarians with us today are farmers, people who work hard and make a living for their families.

Thanh's mother also has a small store in the front of the house. She was kind to us and I will not forget her.

Next, we all went to Vang's  house. His father and mother were very gracious and had us sit down for some food and drink. Even though we eaten not long ago, we welcomed the refreshment on this warm day.

Then it was off to The's house. The is the youngest of all his siblings, so I call him "The Baby." We ate and drank, and the watermelon was welcomed. And that is Toan on the right. Somehow, he is in a lot of the photos. I wonder why.

Here The and I are with his parents, very religious people, who attend mass and are kind to everyone.

Our last stop on the way home was at Huy's house. Huy is the one person who smiles no matter what. When we feel like work is too hard or we have too much to do, Huy always keeps us going.

Huy's mother and sister posed with us for a photo. A "thank you" goes to both of you for being such good hostesses to a bunch of tired travelers.
