Prayer: Sickness

Still in Vietnam! Haven't been able to upload pictures and probably won't until we get home :( The disadvantages to not having a phone, but a real camera!

Today we went to see Ho Chi Minh's body, which is preservered in a very guarded building. Team days is a time where we get to relax a little, debrief about our time in China and Hong Kong and spend time together to refresh ourselves as a team in preparation for our longest and last phase of the journey.

Please pray for our team, as there seems to be some sort of 12 hour stomach bug going around. We seem to be tag teaming it and more than half of our team has gotten it already. I'm one of the safe ones so far but it's just a game of waiting right now. Tomorrow is a travel day, so please pray that we are all strong and healthy by then and that no one else gets sick, as we also have to lug around our giant bags!

I am at the point where half of me wants to stay overseas and keep on doing missions and half of me wants to go home and see loved ones again! There is definitely excitement for starting out for Thailand first thing tomorrow morning, and I am looking forward to seeing all the things that our Team Leader has prepared in advanced for us to do :)

There are so many idols and little ancestor temples here. It is wierd to see in an everyday, modern setting. Even in the hostel we're in there's a little shrine that people put out new food and "spirit money" every day to make sure that the building is blessed.
