Chuc Mung Ngay Phu Nu Viet Nam

Hello everybody!
Okay so real quick cuz I don't have lots of time! This week was hard but also awesome!
So we had exchanges with the sisters in Phu My Hung and honestly, I always learn so much more from them than they learn from me haha! but we went contacting and was talking to this girl at a coffee shop and another guy comes over and sits next to us and he joins in the conversation and turns out they want to have a tour of the church. So we get up to go show them and another guy sitting near us who was eavesdropping stands up and asks if he can come too! so we were like yeah of course! but anyway we give them all pamphlets and invite them to church and the evesdropper (His name is Tu) actually comes to church! and he was like "Hey I read this whole pamphlet do you mind if I show it to a friend?" yeah go for it! and we are meeting him today so I am super excited!
Also, we met a wonderful family last week and get to meet with them a couple times and they are just so cute! they are so interested and it was cool as we were describing the plan of salvation they were like "Whoa we have always asked each other what is the purpose of life and we never could find the answer." Also, they came to church and one of the ladies who gave a talk decided to change it last minute since there were lots of investigators and it fit so so well with this families situation I was just amazed! The spirit is so awesome and knows what people need and will work through us!
Also, it was Vietnam Women's day on Saturday so we went around giving oranges to women that we met and everyone was confused and kept telling us "the boys are the ones that give presents not you" haha sometimes its nice to play the oh I am a foreigner card haha
Okay so that's about it for the week! Sorry it's so short! Love you all tons and hope its a good one!
Love Sister Connell

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

At zone conference we all got Vietnamese bibles so that was super exciting! we have been running into a lot of people of Christian faiths and so to be able to use the bible now will be super great! Speaking of Zone conference it was so amazing. We focused on recognizing the Holy Ghost. There are 4 lessons you could say of how the spirit prompts us. One is revelation but not knowing beforehand, so being lead even though you don't know you are being lead. this comes as you are obedient and strive to follow Gods will (think of Nephi getting the brass plates). The Second is revelation through repetition. So when you read something or learn something a million times and then one day something clicks and your understanding deepens. The next is revelation as a conclusion so like a prompting to do something even though you don't know why. And then revelation as time, so knowing what you need to do already but understanding the right time (Like extending an invitation at the right tim

Holy cow it has been quite a week!! and guess what! I have offically been here for one month!! which is crazy!! Anyway I started out the week with an awesome devotional from Brent H. Neilson of the 70. His wife spoke about missions and related it to a 10k she ran on the fourth of July this past summer! Oh my maybe it's cuz I ran once upon a time but it hit me so hard!! man it was good! but she made 4 points. She said: 1) "I knew very little about running but I knew enough to run the race".  As a missionary I know very little about being a missionary but I know enough to come out here and serve the Lord 2)"I learned I wasn't the best in the race but I wasn't the worst." I am not the best missionary out here. 'Ill be honest I thought I would (haha) be but it's been humbling to see I still need to improve a lot! But I am also not the worst. I am trusting in God and doing my best 3)"I wasnt running alone." I am not running alone.
