Young ones

In Hanoi, our church meeting attendees are almost all adults.  Our sacrament meetings are quiet. (It completely surprised a recently visiting Area 70, who was expecting, what he called a "typical Cambodia" congregation and suddenly felt like he had to change his prepared talk to fit the group he found himself facing).  There are many single adults, a few families and and a smattering of expats in each congregation.  And almost all of those in the two former groups and a large percentage of the latter are people who embraced baptism at a later age.

But when we visit the TSN and QS branches in Ho Chi  Minh City, there's a further development.  Babies!  The church has been there long enough that some of those single adults have married and have small little children.  There has been a veritable bloom of births in the last year and they are all adorable additions to the few three and four year olds who have been in the Primary there.

Today both branches met together to listen to the General Conference broadcast and, inbetween sessions, talk, eat, watch the littles play and pass around the babies.
