We are friends

Yesterday, when I was taking the trash out, Carolyn and I had the opportunity of meeting our neighbors. We met a couple from Dallas who are in town for a few days visiting their uncle. They gave us their phone number and told us we should call them if we wanted to go out to lunch some time. They were very sweet so we were excited about the offer. As we were talking to them we met their cousin who lives to the left of us. She got so excited at the fact that we spoke English because she had studied it in the university and really wanted more practice. She said we were allowed to stop by whenever we liked. She said she gets bored because she is pregnant and does not want to go out.
Tonight we were supposed to get connected to the internet but we were not able to. When we went down to the office, we found we could not communicate our situation and decided to go ask our neighbor for help. What started as asking a question, turned out to be an invitation to dinner. We stayed for 3 hours talking with her and learning about her life, while eating the most amazing dinner! She is one the most genuine women I have ever met and I am so thrilled we have 9 months to get to know her.
Everyone has said that Vietnamese people are very servant hearted and each day proves that more and more. Our neighbor served us the best she had and was eager to invite us over for more meals. She explained that they make a lot of food anyway, so whenever we are home we are welcome to come over. Wow! I must say that invitation sounds appetizing and it would be nice to have home cooked Vietnamese meals but I am even more excited to build a relationship with her. I hope that somewhere in these next few months, Carolyn and I will be able to show her His love that is in us.
