t-shirt: "I went to Vietnam and all I got was this Typhoon"
Hooray! Typhoon Ketsana is passing, and we survived! Thanks everyone for all your prayers - it was sketchy for a while, with flying tiles and trees, but we're back on track now. I "iReported" videos to CNN so you may have already seen the videos from here. So, now what? We have finished all the clinics the government permitted us to do, but maybe they'll let us do some Typhoon relief work tomorrow? We'll let you know. Here's the current view from my hallway:
Glad that you all are ok. I have been twittering your situation as I get updates. People all over the country have been "thinking" about you all. Michael, it was great talking to you yesterday.
Thank you Jason and everyone who is thinking about us and praying for our team - we have been mightily blessed. Here is a link to the video on CNN iReport: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-335561
Welcome to our team blog! Expect up-to-date posts on our mission to Vietnam Sept.16-Oct.2 ~ please click on the FOLLOW button to subscribe to it!
It's our first time for Seacoast, and it's a different kind of mission than we've ever done. Vietnam is a M/L/C/Socialist Republic and strictly forbids Chr1s+1an missionaries. We go as a purely medical team, and the government will send spies to watch over us, to assure we neither pray with our patients nor talk with them about J---- (you know who). Our Local hosts and helper will m1n1s+er in more comprehensive ways.
As "they" also monitor the web, so you will notice our host www.vetswithamission.org is a "humanitarian" org. In this blog we also must be careful in what is posted, not to jeopardize the mission. We welcome your comments (it's like getting mail when you're at camp) but please censor what you write as big bro is watching. love ya'll!
Glad that you all are ok. I have been twittering your situation as I get updates. People all over the country have been "thinking" about you all. Michael, it was great talking to you yesterday.
