The Mission here in Vietnam is going pretty well thus far! We are in an interesting situation though. We just lost two investigators, but we are hopefully going to be gaining two new investigators. We had an investigator named Anh Chuong. He was progressing very well at first, and we had a baptismal date of yesterday for him. But, something happened, and we weren't able to contact him for just about an entire month! We cam to find out through another member, that his parents didn't want him learning about the church or going to anymore church activities. So, he has decided to just stick with his religion and to stop learning about the Gospel. We will continue to pray for him, and hope that he will have the desire to re-learn about the Gospel one day. We also had another investigator named Em Ngan. She was a golden investigator who kept our commitments, and even accepted the invitation to be baptized during the first lesson we had with her. Unfortunately, she is moving to Singapore on Monday for school and work for at least a year. she has received an answer though that the church is true, and she is willing to continue learning about the Gospel in English over in Singapore, instead of Vietnamese. We are currently working on getting in contact with the Mission President in her area. We will hopefully be gaining a new investigator today, Em Doan. So that's just a little background information on what's going on in our area.
Vietnam is so beautiful! We get to bike across the Saigon River almost everyday, and it is magnificent! Most people ride bikes and motorcycles here, but there are still cars as well. Most of the time when you see a car though, it is used for taxi purposes. The food here is amazing as well! They use fish sauce in a lot of food, but it still tastes great! Biking here is so much fun, and such a great exercise! We have a 35 minute bike ride to the church, so anytime we have district meeting, English class, church, English meeting, etc., that's the bike ride we take! It's a great cardio workout!
Please enjoy the video of my Testimony in Vietnamese! (note from Juliann...the video was too long to upload...dang it!)
