Contrary to our westernized view of Vietnam's struggle for independence, the Vietnamese maintain a certain fondness for Ho Chi Minh (Uncle Ho). Prior to his regime women in Vietnam did not have their own name. As proud as they were to be "wife of Trang" or "mother of Lee", they applaud Ho for giving them their own name to answer to. My hope rests in the assurance that even if I were "wife of Ray" God would have my name written on his heart.
He calls me chosen, free forgiven, wanted, child of the King, His forever, held in treasure... I am loved (Battistelli) You are always in my prayers. Love Mom.

We couldn't have a more delightful group to travel with. As for the photo--the spirit of the Cambodian and Vietnamese people makes it easy.
