Farweell Team Meeting


First in relationship to 2010 when I met a special friend who received the Special Gift and accepting my gift from my grandfather I recieved in 1968 this was all in His planning some fourty years ago. Now 2011 let us look even farther back then  to the present. 2 Corinthians explains so much of my past. 1 chapter v 8-11 Brothers and sisters, we want you to  know about the trouble in Asia. We had great burdons there that were beyond our own strength. We even gave up  hope of living. Truly in our own hearts we believed we would die . But this happened so we would not trust ourselves but in God, who raises people from the dead. God saved us from these great dangers of death and He will continue to save us  And you can help us with your prayers. Then many people will give thanks for us that God blessed us because of their many prayers.
Scriptures continue to amaze me everything I do was in His plan and documented a long time ago.
 There was one bird released for each vet today, Question is did anyone hold to a part of Asia, is the past history or will only seconds each day remind us fron the past. Last April I choose to leave Vietnam In Vietnam, I'm proud  I couldn't let this chapter in my life be in the past.   Now Vietnam is my future (at this time I have no desire to return here)  I will leave the future for the future. But I am sure there is so much I can do from home.
NOW THE GOOD PART this is how it all happens  2 Corinthians Ch5  V17-20  If anyone belongs to Christ, there is a new creation. The old things have gone, everything is made new! All this is from God. Through Christ, God made peace between us and hemself, and God gave us the work of telling everyone about the peace we can have with Him. God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself. In Christ, God did not hold the world guilty of its sins. And He gave us this message of peace so we have been sent to speak for Christ It is as if God is calling to you through us. We speak for Christ when we beg you to be at peace with God.
Tomarrow we are leaving Vietnam, But my memories will last forever, I fill sadden that everyone doesn't have the oppurnity to study in a real classroom called Experiencing God through the Vietemese people.
My journalism is failing grades but I love to share my experiences. Something else water don't blot computer screens so I use my hanky to clean up

In His Protection

Everyones still working so hard although I know that all of us
are tired But I'm sure we are happy.

Grandpa, ya I wanna call you by that lovely and respctful title.
As I said to you before you're warm and kind.
You  are warm and kind the way you loveing everyone, the people here,
the team, and us translators
Until now I still don't know why I have such special feeling with you.
Youknow, my mom  was died 10 years ago when I was just a little  girl
and now I'm the eldest sister in family my dad wants me to replace the
role of a woman's family, take care of family cooking, do housework
helping my younger sisters in their studying and sometimes be like a burdon to me
I ofter feel that all the world are on my shoulders. But since I met you listen to
what you said I open my heart  I just think that why I had such selfish stupid
thoughts.
Grandpa! So i am going to HCM city a hustle and bustle place to find a job
to earn my living. And my  day expects me to earn alot of money so that
I can support for my youngest sisters studying. It makes me fill pressured alot.
I love you GrandpaI wish I could be side you and take care of you like a
granddaughter.
I know that challanges and difficultys are waiting me ahead. But they are
the things for me to overcome, not to be afraid of , right
With my bare hands I enter life I believe I hope I can lead my life on the
right track love you Grandpa, Gonna miss you so much
I wish you all the best things in the world 
Sincerly Yours,
