Members are the Glue


Letter from 10/29/17

HELLO,

This week went by so fast and can't believe I am sending another email.
This week was filled with some meetings and some lessons and some funny things and always studying.

During the week we have a lot of meetings. We have meetings on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays usually. They are good. We talk a lot about what we can do to improve the missionary work here. Also we talk about the people who we are teaching and who we could teach.

We had some lessons this week. We teach a lot of recent converts who have been baptized within the year. We also have to contact a lot of people via phone when they can't meet. So that's fun. Practicing my Vietnamese.

Also some funny things that happened. We met these men and child who were from California. They were coming back from something? But we were talking to them and the little boy says to his uncle "why does she look so different" talking about me. Haha So my companion said " because she is Chinese" They were like ohhhhh.. So yes, Asians do look different! haha.

Also this week we got to take an hour bike ride to a member's house. We got lost a little and went over some bridges. haha. My legs hurt. Then we were able to talk and able to see what they needed and if they needed help with their callings. Literally members are the glue to the church. Without members there would be nothing. They plan everything. Keep it up! The members of the church are all so faithful and do so many great things for the church!!! Wahoooo

Love,
Chi My
Sister Nelson


Those that know Hope are not at all surprised that about half of her photos are about food....
Here they made so much pho, they had to eat out of serving bowls.

These pics are aimed at an Elder that is not fond of fruits and veggies. 😄
(I want copies Hope)

Happy to find an member's home after getting lost.

Another baptism...of FIVE!!!

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

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

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
