He asked us if we were students and we are like no we actually do service for our church. As soon as we said church he turns around and is like oh I am from Russia good bye.

Xin Chao Gia Dinh va Ban cua Chi Hellooooo everybody!! Guess what I am officially in Vietnam!! It's crazy here! It's so different but way cool! Also these past couple weeks have been crazy! Thanksgiving: seriously like the best day of my mission life! We started out with a devotional by Elder Bednar, then we had a delicious Thanksgiving lunch completely with egg nog, pumpkin pie, and everything else you can imagine for Thanksgiving! its was so good (not quite as good as home cooking but for MTC standards like 11/10)  Then we had another devotional about the service project and then we went down to the parking garage and jammed out to Christmas music while we made breakfast meals to be given to children in Utah in need!  Then after that we had a sack dinner in our class and our district got in a circle and we all went around saying what we were grateful for! It was so fun!  Then we had another Devo but it was more of a concert cuz Nashville Tribute Band came ...
