Sorry for no email last week! our Zone decided to take a little trip to Brazil so we were a little busy! Jk jk don't worry we just went to the beach and hiked up to a Jesus statue that looks like the one in Brazil. It was sooo awesome! We got to go to Vung Tao Beach and hiked up a mountain- which I haven't hiked up a mountain, let alone seen a mountain in a very long time! It was awesome and so beautiful! and very very spiritual. There were little statues of Bible stories everywhere and inside the Jesus Statue were pictures of His life and a little place to worship. You could also climb to the very top on his shoulders and see everything! It was cool cuz we literally came unto Christ. Kinda fun to think about These past 2 weeks have been crazy! We had an awesome Zone conference last week that gave me a ton of direction as far as how to do missionary work and I feel like since then the work has just been on fire! We also had exchanges with the STLs and found a cute little cafe...

Heyo what is up everybody! Hey so got a joke for you all to learn some Việt! How did Obama's mom tell him to throw out the trash? She said "Bỏ rắc Obama!" haha "Bo rac" means throw out the trash. Okay anyway this week has been good! and super busy! We started off the week by eating some wayyyy good Korean food with some of the returned missionaries who went home a couple months ago. They are all from Australia and brought a bunch of Australian candy and Welch's fruit snacks for us! I was pumped about that! Then we have just been meeting alot of our investigators cuz they all are not busy right now and a lot of our potential investigators! We have a new investigator named Chi Thu and she is so so sweet! She owns a little restaurant we eat at and always gives us chocolate or drinks when we come over! It's so cute! Her husband is from Austria and he is visiting for a little while and sometimes we try to share with him too, but he is a little harder t...

Xin Chào buổi sáng family and friends! In case you are wondering I made sure that every hymn we sung this week was on pages 338-341. I even tried to get my comp to memorize the Star Spangled Banner. She refused haha! But was deeply impressed by the song haha! It was another slow week but hey that's okay! We have had a lot more time to focus on Em Ly this week and were even able to talk to her family and they said she can get baptized and they are also open to hearing the gospel! So yay! What a blessing! It's so cool to see her progress in the gospel and actually apply it in her life! Other than Em Ly all our other investigators are out of town, busy with work, don't want to meet, decided to move 4 hours away or about to have a baby. So we have done a lot of work with members, less actives and potential investigators (PIs). We got to go clean Co Kieu's new house and start painting the walls. That was super fun but I kept getting called out by Co Kieu. She just kept...

Hello hello! Happy 4th of July this week!  I'm so grateful for the blessing that we have of families and religious freedom all over the world! Yesterday at church was the most eventful church meeting I have been at in a very long time. We had a baptism right before church, a missionary return home, someone move into the branch and a marriage announcement. Wow lots of life happening. Co Lien (one of the Elders' investigators) - got baptized! All the missionaries got to sing "I Love to see the Temple" Which was the sweetest thing because that is the whole reason she started learning the gospel is because she wanted her family to be sealed in the temple! It was really special and you could just tell she is so ready and so prepared! And her son- who the elders have been trying to work with- came to see it and then stayed for church! It was awesome! One of the Korean families in our branch's daughter came home from a New York mission and it was so cool to see! We...
