One of the first weekends here in August, we went to distrct one after fellowship with Jenni and four other girls from Bien Hoa: Deidra, Holly, Ashley, and Melissa. Steph and I "released" the five to wander and went to have coffee, as I was desperate to be with someone who had lived in Vietnam before (not your fault new teammates, we were the same last year).
It was wonderful to hang out with her, to be with a friend who knew me already, and loved me for who I am. It was comfortable to be together and to not have to explain any cultural happenings around us, or translate something (again, not your fault. happens to the best of us). I don't even think anyone came up to us to ask us where we were from! Good times!
Steph's phone was sitting on the table and we laughed when we realized they were the same. Steph's phone rang, and we both reached for our phones because apparently we had the same ring tone! When she opened hers, I saw that we had chosen the same background!
