The third week in July we went to Vietnam to tour the branches and meet the missionaries there. It was wonderful to be there, there is such a special spirit with the members there, and we have wonderful missionaries serving. Below are some pictures of the traffic and scenes in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon).
Mackenzie trying out one of the public exercise machines in the park across from our hotel. We went walking around the park several times in the morning for exercise and enjoyed seeing the locals there having their early morning aerobics and dance and martial arts classes... lots of people playing badminton too.
Our wonderful missionaries in the chapel in Ho Chi Minh City. 1 pair of sisters, 1 pair of elders, and a senior couple-- the Blinn's-- who are very fun and are doing a great job there. After the "Meet the President" meetings we all went to eat at a nearby restaurant.
These are our missionaries in Hanoi-- a very special group. It is so amazing how the work is progressing there despite the restrictions. The members are so wonderful at bringing their friends to church and to English classes, then the missionaries teach them. You'll notice we don't have our nametags on-- we didn't even bring them on the trip-- you can't wear them except inside our chapel, and we didn't want to risk forgetting to take them off. The elders and sisters are used to that.
