The mission is completed, we are back in Saigon. Only Joe and Erin stay back in Viet Nam for another week, the rest of the team are leaving on either Saturday or Sunday. Tien, Tri, Murt and I are the first group to depart in the next two hours for the airport and will be in St.Paul by 4:30 PM Saturday. We made a great team, all working very well together through out the whole mission, many newly made friends and many old friendships deepened. We saw over three thousand patients, many were handicapped, many elders, many were children. All and all we had a very successful mission. As with any mission we hope to make it better next time.
