Best Friends and Prepping for Chinese New Year!

Hi everyone...this is the Missionary MOM!  The Missionary himself has been less than wordy in his recent emails!!!  I have received some photos and messages from Justin's companion, Elder Taylor, and one of his friends over there who is preparing to go on his own mission next summer!

For starters, this is really cool...Elder Taylor's dad is in the NAVY!  And, he was previously in the Utah Army National Guard!  What a small world.  His mom is Vietnamese and so Elder Taylor has a lot of family members in Saigon, too!  Our two families have so much in common and we have had fun communicating back and forth.  Okay, enough with the verbiage...photos tell a thousand words!



Justin is translating a a conference here!  How cool is that?!!!



This is Justin's friend who is getting ready to go on his own mission.  These guys all love hanging out!

Preparing for Chinese New Year.  Elder Taylor's grandmother lives in Saigon.  She got these outfits for them, and she feeds them VERY well!!!!
