julie & xander dehart - team July 2014

Greetings from Wisconsin!

We are Julie and Xander (8) DeHart from Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin (a small town along the Mississippi River).

Just to give you a bit of background info on us, I, Julie, was adopted from Vietnam as an infant by a farming family in Minnesota - the Knutson’s. I have a wicked Norwegian accent which throws everyone for a loop, so beware! By profession, I am a Pediatric Registered Nurse. This will be my 4th (I think it is) medical mission trip, and each one has been incredible.

My son, Xander, will be my traveling companion this year. Three years ago, my oldest son, Spencer, went on the trip and had a fabulous time. Xander loves to play soccer, swim, and play football. He also enjoys wrestling with his two brothers and dressing up as a Clone Trooper (Star Wars).

We look forward to meeting you all in Hanoi when you arrive. We are leaving on July 13th to teach at Go Vap. We wish you all safe travels and keep healthy!
