Week 2: Vietnam Fun

Sept 17



 This week has been pretty normal. I feel like I'm a native Vietnamese person except when I cross the street.  That is soooo much fun.  It's like sardines and sharks.  It's sometimes scary.  My vietnamese is getting a little bit better.  I understand about 13% of what is going on.  

This week we taught a lot more lessons and also we teach english class. It was sooo much fun.  We get to teach the beginners class which is really fun.  A lot of them already know the things we are teaching though, which is great. We taught about weather and sang some songs and asked them which weather they like. 

Here is this mission, it's a little different. We wake up at 5:30 am and druing the middle of the day we take Naps!.  It's great.  Although it is really hard for me to take naps becuase I hate hate that. That's ok it will prepare me for the future when I am older and need naps all the time! haha. Sorry Mom. 

Funnny story this week. To help our Vietnamese we tell stories in Vietnamese and this week Thu Hong was beginning and this was the conversation:
Thu Hong: "How do you say score"
"no! The animal"
Kim Thu and me: " oh the squirriel"
Thu Hong: "yeah squirriel"
*explains the story*
Kim Thu and me: "oh that's a skunk"
We were laughing sooo hard.  It went from score to squirriel to skunk.  My companions are great!

Last thing.  We had a District Conference which is like a Stake conference back home.  Some exciting news about Vietnam.  They only had one District but yesterday they split the Districts into 1 in Hanoi and 1 in Ho Chi Minh city.  So now there are a ton more branches. Wahoooo! this is amazing and great! Let the work continue here in Vietnam!

Hope everyone's week has been great! 

Love you all!

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...
