Elder David Nguyen: December 2012

Elder's Nguyen's Favorite Scripture

"And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.

"The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?

"Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever."

- D&C 122:7-9

Hello everyone,

I'm doing fine right now.

We don't have any investigators at the moment, but we have a couple people who could become investigators, which is good.

We visit members a lot here, because the branch is not very strong here. We're working as hard as we can, but there just aren't that many people who are Vietnamese in our area, and most people here know Cambodian anyway.

All in all, the work is going slowly, but my companion and I have high hopes that it will start picking up soon.

Thankfully, there are a couple of other missionaries in David's mission that have mission letter blogs. I found this picture on one of them.

We got to Skype with David on Christmas Day. He is doing well. I took this screen shot of him with his missionary badge.
