Greetings GSLC family! I am back from Vietnam, past the jet-lag with both feet firmly planted in Utah and grateful for so many God-sightings along the way. God truly inhabits his creation wherever they are found and I have been privileged to work with a team in Vietnam who were daily muttering the words, “That is such a God thing!” Yes, miracles everyday, I will tell you one:
In the north, in the beautiful village of Sapa, where the climate is cool, the landscape lush with green and the rain misty; there live the indigenous tribes of Vietnam, often arrayed in original dress. They are welcoming and warm, beautiful people. The manager of our hotel in Sapa was a case in point. After discovering early one morning that the team would not be going to the clinics (orphanages and schools) as planned, this wonderful man went to work and quickly found us a school in the mountains of Sapa. The sun showed up brilliant and beautiful for nearly the entire day, which is unusual, and the children not only welcomed us but needed us. Truly it was a glorious day where medical and dental diagnosed and repaired, our clown Mike entertained, children reveled in their change of schedule for the day and all celebrated together as one creation - God’s creation, the creation of man.
Praise God! He is with us always and everywhere,
P. Christine
