            Today is Tuesday and we have had such a fantastic day! We’ll let you in on a secret, prayer works! We prayed (and others too, thank you) to have a great attitude and enjoy the city and we did today!

            We have met some wonderful people during our stay: we met a precious couple from Florida (originally from Columbia) and a man from Vietnam who has lived in Florida also for 30 years and was coming back to do missionary work. Both of them were sweet Christian people and really encouraged us, we love divine appointments.

            It is not very often that Adam gets overly-excited and while I was in the other room, I hear a ‘Thank you Jesus’ yell out of his mouth. I come out to see what was so grand and he had found the Colts vs. Giants football on t.v. He was ecstatic and enjoyed the game!

            The oranges here are not orange, but there still called oranges. The skin on the orange is green. They look the same on the inside, taste almost the same, but the rind is green.  Why are they called oranges, we wonder?

            Avi Joy is gaining so much weight. I know that sounds silly, only one week, but she has gained like 2 lbs! She loves her bottle and is almost like clockwork for it. We think she was a little malnourished because all she wanted to do was eat for 2 days constantly at first, with no poopies I might add. She has regulated herself in everyway now and is getting big, even the other couples with us noticed.

            As for the random smiley faces that are appearing on our posts, we hate them and do not know why they are there or how to get rid of them! Sometimes a jumble of words and smiley faces gets thrown in, ignore them, hehe.

            It rained all day today, so everywhere we went we were wet, but it was so cool so it made for a perfect day. Heather and I went and got fitted for some clothes. We pick them up on Friday; beautiful hand made material and measured out just for us. We enjoyed 2 hours of mommy shopping while the men stayed in and played with the baby’s. We were treated totally different without the men around. Men came up to us and kept talking to us and asked us if we wanted rides and how old we were and we think they thought we were dumb prey. Sorry for them, were smart chicks!

            We have 3 government appointments tomorrow, so we are hoping everything runs smoothly, we will tell you all about it tomorrow!

            Thank you to Ed who says we are his realty t.v. show. That made us laugh. It helps our hearts be strong to know that you are checking in on us!

      So, you hate our smiley faces do you! Ha! Ha! We put them in there so you can see our faces smiling at you because we're so happy for you, but I guess I can refrain from using them.
      Dance class was awesome last night, but man am I sore today. My thighs feel like they are going to fall off. Sue and I walked 3 miles today to get some excercise and try to loosen up my legs. We started learning the choreography for the Worship Conference coming up in about 5 or 6 weeks. We are dancing to Rain Song by Day of Fire. It is going to be powerful!
      Adam's thrill made me laugh. It's the little things that count. I sure do enjoy being a part of your journey. Thank you for sharing it with us!
      Love you guys,
      Andrea

      Hi Babe,
      Counting down the days until you come home. Miss you and Adam. I am glad to hear AviJoy is eating well and the cutting teeth will be an ongoing experience for many months. Look at it this way, traveling across the world is far worse than her teething. Are you missing Project Runway? Hopefully you recorded it. See you soon, I love you all.

      Perrymans-
      Hi to all three of you! I am quickly becoming obsessed with checking your site, it is updated so often that I might as well be in Vietnam myself!
      The videos are great. The ones that show Vietnamese lifestyle are fascinating. BUT, the videos that feature Avi Joy are abosolutely WONDERFUL! I love them all!
      Please keep updating us, we're hanging on every word!

      When you're in not good state and have no money to go out from that, you would require to take the http://lowest-rate-loans.com. Just because it should help you definitely. I get student loan every single year and feel OK because of that.

      Glad to see she is gaining so much weight. I have always liked seeing them come into shape and grow older. I always use prayers to help us get through our days. I'm glad that you do too, and I recommend it to anyone reading.
