Week 5

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!!!

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 telling my companion I need in life.  It was great to see the love they have for me!  I love them!
We got to watch General Conference! It was sooo goood. Lots of talks about service and serving others.  My favorite talk was Bonnie L. Oscarson and Elder Anderson's. Sister Oscarson talked about doing good and kept saying "Who needs me today; what do I have to contribute?".  It was soo good to hear that and to always be thinking about service.  True to the faith says "True disciples of Jesus Christ desire to serve those around them".  I kept reading about service this week for some reason. Also Elder Anderson's talk was a great way to end the conference.  We have great apostles and prophets.

I also got to watch a session in Vietnamese because we had a potential investigator come. President Hassell wanted us to watch it in our native language but made exceptions for us to be with our PI. So cool! 

Sorry Kinda short... Hope everyone is well and doing the right! 


Love you all and see you soooon

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

December 24, 2017 Merry Christmas! --- Chúc mọi người giáng sinh vui vẻ! Hope every one's Christmas is filled with great joy. I don't have a lot of time to write a long email, but hope everyone has a great holiday!! This week was filled with many miracles. This week we got 4 new investigators. 2 were referrals from a member and then 2 were from English class. We have been very blessed to have to opportunity to teach these people. This week we were reminded of the true meaning of Christmas as we got to participate in a Branch nativity. It was a neat experience to hear of the Savior's birth while doing something together as a branch. The savior was born for us to fulfill God's plan. I hope you enjoy the Christmas holiday and were able to do the 25 days of Christmas! I know that me and my companions have been trying to do it and it's been a blessing. Merry Christmas! Love, Chi Mỹ Sister Nelson "Angels and Mary" Branch Christmas Party Branch
