Sept. 10th First Week in Vietnam


First Week in Vietnam

 So first off. Sorry if I spell anything wrong.  Spelling was never my strongest suit.  haha.  Also on these computers it says everything is spelt wrong, so I can never tell. haha

So we left the MTC at 2:30 in the morning and took a bus to the Airport.  We flew to Texas.   After we arrived in Texas, we hopped onto another flight to Hong Kong.  It was only a 15 hour flight.  I was in the middle isles in the middle of two people.  It was hard to sleep. After that flight, we hopped onto another flight to Vietnam! We had about 15-20 mins delay which wasn't too bad.  The flight from Hong Kong was about 2 hours and I was passed out the entire time.  I was sooooo tried.  haha.  After all the flying we met President and Sister Hassell!  He is as tall as all the pictures seem. haha.  We went to the mission home and had our first Vietnamese food: PIZZA!  We also got to meet the senior couple that helps the Presidnet and Sister Hassels in the office.  Chi Perraud and I slept in the Van Wagenen's house while the elders slept at President's House.  

The next morning, we had an orientation all day and finally at 2pm we found out who our trainers and where we were going.  I have 2 companions and we went to the south. Their names are Chi Thu Hong (Schley) and Chi Kim Thu (Graviet).  They are the coolest people eva.  They help me stay away from the crazy meat on the streets.  They have been out for 16 months, so I will be their last companion!:) wahooo.  They are also pros at everything.  

The Vietnamese is wayyy different here that the MTC. I was started to finally understand the Vietnamese the teacher's spoke in the MTC and then they throw me into the real thing.  They speak so fast here and I am a northern speaker in the southern area. SOS. Gotta stay my northern dialect because it's the best!

The food here is way better than the MTC.  I eat a lot of Rice and Noodles.  I had Pho for the first time and it was good! Way different from American Pho.  Now I need to learn how to cook it.  haha

This week was really busy.  We try and contact people everywhere we walk.  My favorite part this week was Sunday.  We went to sacrament.  There were about 30 people there and the spirit was sooo strong. Even though there are not a lot people, you can still feel the spirit.  It is sooo strong!

Hope you all have a good week! Love you all. 

Love,

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...
