Let me just start by saying I'm going be the fastest biker when I get back! We biked soooo much on Saturday! We had a couple of appointments super far away from each other and got lost every time! but we got some good contacting done cuz we had to stop and ask for directions a lot! There was one person we were going to visit at the end of the day and she was a former investigator named Chi Phung, who really loved learning but just got too busy to come to the church for hour long lessons with past missionaries. So we were like hey we can come to your house! so we did! we basically biked all over our area to find her house but we finally made it and she and her fiancee both want to learn! after that we were so tired from biking all day and after 45 minutes of trying to find our home we were still so lost and had no idea were we were. So I just started praying and just saying how tired I was and lost and I didn't know what to do and as soon as I closed my prayer I looked over to m...

Chao buoi sang! (Good morning!) K word of the week is "yeu cau". It means "to request" but the literal translation is "love (yeu) toilet (toilet)" Anyway... holy let me tell you it has been a good week! We have seen so much of the hand of the Lord and been able to have some awesome adventures! from finding batteries for our dead carbon monoxide detector in the middle of the night, getting wrecked in basketball by some little kids last p-day, to just opening our mouths and meeting some amazing people! First off Em Thanh's parents finally agreed to let her get baptized!!! She has been trying for 8 months now and they are finally okay with it and even said they will come to the service! We also met with so many people this week! lots of phone contacts, street contacts, potential investigators etc. We have one girl named Chi Nga and she is the sister of a member who comes to church and is basically a member but her boyfriend does not like the church...

Hello Hello Hello! Okay here is your Vietnamese lesson for the week! What do you get when you mix a pomegranate (lựu) and a bullet (đạn)? A grenade (lựu đạn) I know I know--not funny but it's fun to compare the literal and actual translation of Vietnamese Anyway what a crazy week! Seriously though! It was transfer week and so much has happened! so here's a quick run down: Remember the old lady named Co Sang who we met on the street who is Buddhist but loves the Bible? She is an investigator now! And she loves when we read the Book of Mormon to her! She is such a fireball and was so fun to teach! Also remember Coffee guy who gave us juice and hot chocolate? He is also an investigator! We met with him again last week to teach the restoration and he had sooo many awesome questions! He already has a real christian background and is super well read in the Bible. At the end of the lesson we invited him to down load the Book of Mormon (cuz we are limited and don't give t...

Chào buổi sáng các cô chú và các anh chị em ( Morning everyone) Whoa can't even believe it but another transfer has come and gone. I'll be moving out of good old District 7 and heading over to District 6! It's been a very slow week which is always a little tough but I'm tough to so it's all good! We started this awesome program for this month called "Mọi Tín Hữu là Người Truyền Giáo" (Every member a missionary) And it's so fun to see how excited members are for it! A lot of time members are scared to share the gospel for fear of losing friends or not knowing what to say or being awkward. But we translated a "100 ways to do missionary work" into Vietnamese and are helping the members choose one! I have attached it below and my invitation to you is to pick one to do this week and do it! Then email me back and I'll get you something cool from Vietnam!  I promise you there are people around you just waiting to be reached out to! They are ...
