{pronounced "ow die"}
Yesterday we got the most wonderful package in the mail. It contained 3 cute little Ao Dai's for our 3 cute kids. An Ao Dai is the Vietnamese traditional dress. Now for some history . . .
Scott served his mission in Australia, speaking Vietnamese. There was a woman & her family there that he formed a relationship with and we still stay in contact with them today -- sending Christmas cards & occasional e-mails. A while back ago Chi Nam told us that she was sending these outfits for the boys, but after some really bad postal service the package had been returned to her 3 times. Finally, a returned missionary was visiting Australia and she was able to give him the package to mail in the US where delivery would be more reliable.
So we had the boys and Anna try on their new clothes for FHE last night. It was so cute. Scott even pulled out his handmade Ao Dai for fun. It was a priceless moment, a great thrill for Scott. Thank you Nam and My!
