Vietnam week 3. Sept 24

This week has been crazy. We have been teaching a lot of lessons and  biking!  Also this week one of the Sister's left to Hong Kong to renew here visa so one of the Sister's in my three-some companionship went to help the other sister in another branch. This Tuesday we have a native joining the mission.  So then we will be back to normal and hopefully the American Sister comes back to Veitnam! haha

This week we rode our bike for like 1 hour to a recent convert house. She is this cute little old lady who got baptized a couple of months ago.  She lives like on the courner of our area.  We teach recent converts here for a year after their baptism.  There are many that we teach which is great! 

Also on Sunday, we taught a lesson over Skype. There is a Vietnamese sister in Norway who met the missionaries about a month ago and had been learning with them in English but not really understanding.  So she wants us to teach her via Skype.  It's way different to teach over Skype and see people on a screen.  Also weird to use a computer for teaching instead of emailing purposes...

Here in Vietnam we do baptisms on Sunday. This week the Elder's had 8 baptisms. It was cool because Elder Quan, who was in my MTC district, got to baptize 3 people.  So cool.  

Funny thing that happened this week was, Thu Hong and I were helping a Sister here finish her mission papers.  Yay! She finished them and then we went to submit them but Thu Hong did it for her.  We didn't realize that we don't go into another page like the others, so she accidentally just pressed "yes" thinking it would go to another page, but it submitted them!  We were laughing so hard.  

So also here, we don't have printers in our homes. So we go to a printer shop and have to pay money.  Recently me and the Elders have been printing off books. I printed off a book with 400 pages for about 44,000 dong, which is about 2 bucks in american money.

Hope your week has been good and life keeps getting better.  Best wishes! See you all soon.

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...
