Some of the Senior Couples travel up the Mekong River and saw another Vietnamese floating village, more cattle that look like they haven't eaten in weeks, a Wat and some silk weaving villages. We had an enjoyable little trip for about four hours. I bought two silk scarfs that were woven there.
Friday Elder Morgan and I stopped at the new church building that has a completion date the first of January '08.

I am having a hard time imagining a village on water. Wouldn't it be constantly moving. Remember the deep sea fishing trip, wouldn't people feel sea sick? What is the advantage of living on the water over there?
Where are your name tags? Wearing pants, Mom? Oh yeah that is right senior missionaries can do what ever they want. hehe
what an amazing opportunity you all are having to learn about another tribe of Israel! Were the silk scarfs very expensive? I'll bet they were beautiful! Great exploration!
We were told that on p-day, you don't wear name tags and that climbing in and out of boats we decided to wear pants. As to getting sea sick, the river is very quiet. No big waves so they sit rather still. They are attached to land by a rope. They are so poor, they cannot buy land, so they build where it is free. I bought two scarfs for $11.00 after a little dickoring.
