Miracles, movies and soccer!
Chao Bui Sang from Vietnam!
Hope everyone is doing well! We have a busy day so I'll make it short!
Miracle story: So this Monday we were getting ready to go to Pho Co with a member and see the old parts of Vietnam and we get a text from a guy we contacted the other week. This contacting story was nuts cuz basically we were trying to talk to people but apparently everyone was Korean that day and no one spoke English or Vietnamese. So I said a quick prayer in my head to find someone who had been prepared by the Lord and 2 secs later out walks with guy with a sign that says Alma on it. So I'm like lets go talk to him about the Book of Mormon and Alma. so we do and we get him to download the BoM on his phone cuz we cant give them out in public. He is super interested. So anyway he texts us and wants to meet us in like half an hour. SO we quickly plan a short lesson of prayer. We go into meet with him end up teaching the whole restoration and the at the end ask it he wants to be baptized and he says yes! So that rocked! it was pretty awesome!
Soccer: Holy cow people here love their soccer! The big Asia soccer tournament was this week and the whole city shut down to watch it. We were trying to teach lessons and there was just a constant buzz of people cheering! It was like a high school football game x10. After the first game Vietnam won and people went nuts!!! everyone was on there motor bike with flags shouting Vietnam!!! it was so funny and so crazy!!! All the shops shut down and people where just gathered everywhere to watch!
Movie Night: We put on a movie night this last Friday to watch the Joseph Smith movie because one of our members translated it into Vietnamese! We had one of our contacts come that we found when we were on the wrong bus. He is super interested (hopefully in the gospel and not in us). He did ask Chi Tam to date him though so we will definitely have the elders teach him haha! But after the movie he kept touching his heart and saying how special that was! and then he came to church the next day! it was awesome!
Spiritual thought: I love how much personality the people in the BoM have! I've been trying to read it to get to know them and the things they go through more especially in Alma. I've been reading a lot about Alma and Amulek and Ammon and their missions a lot and who they are. I encourage you if you haven't to go read Alma 8-16 about Alma and Amulek and 17-20. Ammon cracks me up he is so sassy! Also they are super awesome examples of missionary work!
Anyway that's all for this week! hope you all have a wonderful day!
