The Big Flight (Week 9)

For Week 9 Sam spent his P-day in the air, flying to Vietnam. He was able to give us a call from the airport before leaving the United States. We do have a couple of pictures that we totally didn't expect to receive - the first photo came from an awesome person who let Sam borrow their phone to call us from the airport. The second picture we received from Sam's mission president as confirmation that Elder Watson had arrived safely. At this point, we were still not sure if Sam was in Hanoi, or Ho Chi Minh City. Sam said during our phone call that the mission president had informed them by email that some of them would be flying from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City just a few hours after their arrival in Hanoi. Jenny and I both had the feeling that Sam would be one heading to Ho Chi Minh City because we know there is a large Mandarin population there, and Sam speaks Mandarin as well as the Vietnamese he had been learning the last 9 weeks. We found out in Week 10’s email that Sam is in Hanoi and doing well.
