Sunday in Vietnam




The only recognized Vietnamese Protestant church in a city of 7 million. The first song was Hark The Herald Angels Sing and the service closed with O Holy Night. Both were in Vietnamese of course, but fortunately the young lady sitting next to me gave me permission to "sing in your language." Partaking of the Lord's Supper was the highlight for me. Language and cultural barriers were transcended... I was the only non-Vietnamese there that day and it is very unusual that non-Vietnamese are invited/allowed to attend. Ate lunch at Thai Express with Tan and family, then rode the electric cart through the old quarter. What a great day!
