Can you teach me more about happiness?

Hello from Ho Chi Minh

So I don't really remember what happened this week! Kind of a blur! We got cancelled on alot alot this week. But it was also good cuz my companion got super sick this week. So she was able to recover and we were able to clean up our area book and do a ton of follow up calls and setting up appointments so that was good!

A couple cool stories real quick though!
We went contacting at the park last night and met a really cute little lady. We were talking about what we did here in Vietnam and said we teach about how to find true happiness and we also serve others by teaching english. And usually people are more interested in English but it's good cuz it makes it way more comfortable to talk about the gospel. But this lady was like "Ooo can you teach me more about happiness?" It took me a little by surprise but she learned about the Book of Mormon and we will meet her again tonight!

So we have been working with someone named Dat for a long time now. He keeps commitments but has been having a hard time accepting the Restoration. He has a really strong testimony in Jesus Christ and loves the Book of Mormon and so we have been having the hardest time figuring out what's stopping him. We felt like we have tried everything in the book. So when we met we just decided to keep going with the lessons and teach about following the prophet. And we found out he really has a hard time understanding about how there can be a living prophet! and it's great timing cuz we will get to watch general conference next week! we got to bear our testimonies about the prophet and you could just feel the spirit there. I know that President Nelson is a prophet in our day and leads and guides Christ's church on the earth.

That's about it for today! hope you all had a wonderful general conference! I am so grateful for modern day revelation!

Love Chi Xuan

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

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.

A Bible! A bible! we have a bible

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
