Hello everybody,
Wow, it turns out I am going to be transferring to Ho Chi
Minh City on Wednesday. It came as a real surprise, as transfer calls are not
supposed to be until next week, but for some reason this transfer is going to
end a week early, and the next one will be extended a week. While I am really
excited to be going to the south, and am excited to see the members there, I
will really miss all of the members here. They are a really great branch. They
are super faithful, and really trust in the Lord. I am a bit sad that I won't
get to work with them anymore, but I know the Lord will continue to take care
of them, and I know the Lord wants me elsewhere.
Along with me moving down south, that does mean that I won't
be around for Chi Thu's baptism, which is a little sad. But hey, I know Elder
Dong Quang and his new companion will continue to help her, and I know that the
Lord will bless her for her efforts to follow the Savior. She is still doing
really well with keeping commitments. We have been teaching her the
commandments lately, and she has been doing great with all of them. She had
some questions with the Word of Wisdom, but when we asked her if she would be
willing to follow it, she immediately said yes. As for Chi Uyen, she is also
doing well. We invited her to be baptised this week! She is currently thinking
about it, but I know as she prays about it, the Lord will let her know it is the
right decision to make, and will bless her as she continues to try to learn
about the gospel.
As for trying to find new investigators, we got one
potential investigator and a former investigator to church this week! Both
agreed to meet with us to discuss the gospel this upcoming week as well, which
is great. Hopefully they were able to feel the Holy Ghost while they were at
church, and that will work in them to help them become more open to the gospel.
I know the Lord prepares people to receive the gospel, and I am really excited
for them as they embark on that journey.
Our branch here is really great in Ha Dong. Seriously, the
members here are so friendly. They really care about their fellow man. Just
seeing how they work with people who come to the church for the first time, or
seeing how they work with people in lessons and their enthusiasm in doing so,
you can really see the light of Christ in them and how much they love serving
others. I know they will find true joy in their lives as they continue to serve
others, and I know that "when we are in the service of our fellow beings,
we are only in the service of our God" (Mosiah 2:17).
Well, as mentioned, I am on my way to a new branch. I am
sure there is a lot in store that I am not expecting, but I know the Lord is on
my side and with Him I can accomplish anything.
Thank you again to everyone out there supporting me, and to
all of you who read this. To those of you reading this on email, my parents
recently updated my blog and it has a lot of really good photos, including some
funny ones at a 3D art museum. Check those out if you get a chance.
I will write to you all from Ho Chi Minh City, district Q6
next week! Until then!
Elder Watson/ Nghiem
