My time in America has come to a close. Tomorrow I fly to Vietnam to visit friends. I will meet Noel Horton from MIU and we plan to travel to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Phnom Penh in Cambodia.
My week has been busy but really good. Our daughter Kim is doing part of her physical therapy internship in San Diego where her fiance Lenny is based in the Navy. Kathy and I drove down to San Diego to visit them for a couple of days. It was really nice. Lenny gave us a top notch tour of the base. We were also able to spend some time in downtown San Diego. It is a really nice city.
Also this week we visit friends and church family. We spent an evening with Cam Tu Vu and her family. I met Cam Tu in a civil engineering company some years ago. Great time with them :) We also went to Las Brisas in Laguna Beach with our dear friend Noel. Excellent food there, and a beautiful place to simply walk around along the coast.
We also have so enjoyed being with our friends in Resurrection Life Church. We were involved with the church for 25 years before leaving for Mongolia in March, 2011. So it was so good to return and spend time with them.
