GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!! Yea, well that phrase has not been overused since we got here. (and yes that is sarcasm). But so far, Vietnam has been great. The first day here, I went shopping. And surprisingly did not buy all that much, just some DVDs, a pair of flip flops and a hat. Oh, and we also bought some fabric, went to a tailor, and designed some dressed to be made. Mine should be pretty cool and I get to pick it up on Friday. I figured since I pretty much bough...

Happy Easter!! I woke up for a sunrise service led by Archbishop Tutu and that was awesome. I finally was able to attend a service and just attend and not do anything in it. It was also fun to see everybody dressed up in their Easter clothes; it was just like at home. Even though it was Easter, since we were at sea, we did indeed have to go to class and that was pretty lame. Then I led music for another service in the evening.

Itwas pretty low key, we just left the boat around 9 am, got to the airport, and had to take 2 flights to where we stayed in Sabah.

(that is me in the shades in the back). It was all written in Tamil, so I have no clue what it says about us, but I took a picture of it and tho...

Today was the last day of my homestay. I really did not want to leave my host family. It was a fun day though. We got up, got to help make breakfast, ate a lot, then headed out to do some more shopping. I thought the shopping of the first day was crazy, this place Prabha took us to was insane. It was like 7 floors of just everything. It had a full floor of just shoes, and I included a picture of that. We just shopped for hours. It was so much fun. Then we came ba...
