Vietnam Week 4

October 1st

 So Many of you are asking me questions so here are some answers:

1. Do we watch Conference?
    -Yes we watch it a week later because of translation....
2. How's Vietnam?
    - Hot and humid...
3. How do baptisms work her?
    - They get a pool, fill up with water and swim
4. The Typhoon?
    - Didn't hit me, but lots of rain on ground
5. How do we do Laundry?
    - We throw it into the washing machine and it spins...


Haha, I am just kidding. Vietnam is pretty great and pretty well Americanized, which is awesome! 

This week was cool and crazy. We had some baptisms and some fun things.

Last Tuesday, Thu Hong and I had to help President Hassell with and orientation he does for all the new missionaries and then Thu Hong left with her new companion and stayed with President and Sister Hassell for a while until I got my companions back. Fun!

We also do baptisms on Sunday here, so its fun. We had two on this past Sunday.  Their names are Em Nyugen and Chi Trinh. (The em and chi thing are based on their ages). It was so cool to be a part of their teaching process and see them become members!

Another assignment we have as branch builders is to teach English once a week.  My companion and I get to teach the basic English class on Tuesday Nights. It's soooo nice because they don't know more than us or don't know anything!... Wahooo. We teach very basic things and always have some fun activities.  

Another assignment we have is teaching recent converts for a year after their mission.  Right now we have eight recent converts that we have to visit a tonnn.  It's fun.  This week we got to see Ba Oanh again and it was good. She is very old, but has such strong faith.  Lover her to death/  

Also we watched The Women's session of General Conference. It was great to hear from such great women and President Uchtdorf. I loved President Uchtdorf's talk.  My favorite part was when he said "Just be Glad".  


Well all I have to say is stay happy and hugs!


Love,

Chi My
Sister Nelson

Baptism fun!

We teach, they baptize!

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...
