Mission Conference and Elder Stevenson! (Week 24)

Monday March 19th

Mission Conference and Elder Stevenson! Oh, and the other half of the 3D Art Museum pictures!

Hello everyone,

Things went pretty well this week here in Vietnam. The most exciting thing of which was that Elder Stevenson came to Hanoi for a mission conference! It was really cool getting to hear from an apostle of the Lord, and I learned a lot from what he shared. First, we had a conference with just the missionaries, and we all got to shake his hand! It was really neat! Funnily enough, the building had lost power, so that conference was in the dark, but it was still really good. He shared some really interesting things. First off, he reaffirmed that we all have divine calls here in Vietnam, appointed by apostles of the Lord, and that He wants us here. He then gave us a message about the importance of giving commitments in your lessons. It was really edifying. Then in the general mission conference, it was really cool to hear Elder Stevenson talk about how those here in Vietnam now are the pioneers for this country, and how he said they are a special people of the Lord. Of course there was a lot of other good things shared, but unfortunately I don't have time to share them all today. If you would like, I am sure there is some way to access more information about it on lds.org.

Besides that, things are going well with everyone here. Chi Thu is progressing very well for her baptismal date! And we are still working with Chi Uyen, and she is doing well too studying more about the gospel. Currently we are having difficulty finding new investigators, but I know the Lord has prepared people out there for us to meet, we jsut have to find them!

 

 

 

 

We also have zone conference coming up, and that should be good, especially as we will be following up on all we learned from Elder Stevenson. I will report more on that next week!

Things otherwise are going well though. It is getting a lot hotter here, especially with the humidity. Arizona is hotter of course, but the humidity is something else! Also, self reliance has been going really well. We now have around twenty students each class, so we are going to try out splitting the class next week. We will see how that goes.

 

  

Well, I need to get going for this week. Hopefully I will get to do something cool today. I will let you know. Oh, and my parents now have the photos of me at the 3D art museum, so hopefully they will post some of those soon. Thank you all so much for your support!
