Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

October 22, 2017

This week was busy with studying. We had to do a lot of catching up because we had a lot of lessons and lots of meetings! Also made it through my first transfer!! Wahooo. Many more to go. haha My companion only has 1 more! Sooo sad!

This week for English class we taught about the body. It was fun. We taught them a song to the tune of head shoulders knees and toes. They are so engaged in learning English. They love it.

This week we got one of our investigators to commit to a baptism date! We are so excited for her. She is really good and really interested in the gospel thanks to her fiance! Which is great!

This week I have been studying a lot about two missionaries in the Book of Mormon. It's is cool we have such great examples in the Book of Mormon to be great missionaries and have a great desire to serve God.

Last P-day we made traditional Vietnamese food! It was great. It was like wrapping spring rolls. haha

Sorry not much to say, I love you all and hope you had an amazing week and continue to have amazing weeks! Love you all!

Love,

Cute member who is also named Mỹ
Have I told you how much I love this girl?



A note from another Hope letter: I also went to a coffee shop.... to study. I ordered a cold chocolate drink but they ordered me a coffee mocha thing. In the end I did drink a little coffee thinking the chocolate was bitter. haha. Don't worry, I repented. haha!

Note to Hope:  Mocha = Coffee + chocolate....OOPS!
40,000 Vietnamese Dong is about $1.76


Another fun fact I learned this week: Hope's Vietnamese name Mỹ means America. Americas (as in The Americas) in Vietnamese is Châu Mỹ. If you listen to this in Google Translate, it sounds very much like Hope's Chinese name, Xiao Meili. SO cool right? By the way, this is something Hope was told in the MTC and the message didn't get passed along.  https://translate.google.com/#en/vi/Americas

December 10, 2017 Xin Chào Everyone, Hope everyone's week was great. My week was very busy with lessons and meetings, just the usual. One thing that happened last week that no one may care about, but we spent 1.5 million Đông on food last week. That is really expensive compared to my last companion. haha. Many great things happend this week: So usually in the week, we don't ride our bikes often. We are blessed to be in an area where everything is very close, but this week we got the opportunity to take a bike ride to a different District to go visit someone. The bike ride was almost 2 hours but it was totally worth meeting with this sister. She is a sister of one of the Missionaries here serving in our mission. Her name is Chị Quyên. She is really nice and really wants to learn more about the gospel because she has seen the change it has made in her sister's life. We are hopefully going to continue to meet with her after her business trip to Hanoi. Also this we...

January 21, 2018 Hello everyone! This week was really crazy. We had a lot of appointments and we got 2 new investigators! This week we had FHE and they did western dancing. Everyone really liked it and loved learning about the American culture. Even though we could not dance, we really enjoyed talking to our investigators and helping out. This week we got 2 new investigators. They are both Em's, which essentially means they are younger than us. They are really interested and are learning a lot from us. They are people who don't really know anything about God, so we are taking it slow with them. We were worried they wouldn't get along with everyone but they got along with each other. Perfect because they are the same age. Also met with Chi Mai and Chi Quynh, who both have baptismal dates. It's so cool to see them develop and grow in the gospel and to see them have and grow the light of Christ. Chi Quynh said to us that she has seen a really big change in her l...

A Note from Julie: These letters are sent from Hope weekly. I edit them and attach the pictures she sends. This blog is done by me and not Hope so she may not see any comments that you leave for her. I will try to pass things along but no guarantees. If you want to send her a message, please write to her at hope.nelson@myldsmail.net . Thanks everyone! Love to all!!! October 8, 2017 This week we had a ton of rain. It kept flooding the streets so it was fun to play in. haha. This week was kinda slow. We taught a lot of recent convert lessons. It's great to teach those lessons because they know the gospel and it's more like them teaching us.  Haha. This week we taught Ba Oanh again. We taught her about prepping for General Conference and getting ready to listen to the prophet. She also always gives us a ton of food, but last Thursday she gave us a whole meal unexpected... sooo good! Thanks to Michelle and Kami! They sent me a package of all my favorite things I was t...
