Hi everyone,
First off, I want to say (even though it's not Sunday anymore)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
I've
had a complicated week. First off, my planner went missing on
Saturday. I don't know how or where, but it somehow disappeared from my
desk between 6:30 A.M. and 2:00 P.M.
Sunday I received a call that I'm going to be transferred on
Friday. I'm going back to Cambodia to serve in Branch 6. That in
itself is quite strange, as most new missionaries serve in the same area
for two transfers so they have the same trainer for the twelve weeks of
training.
Not being able to contact makes things difficult in Vietnam. We
still only have one investigator and the members haven't given us any
referrals within our area. We don't really have much to do anymore
because we are only allowed to teach recent converts twice a week, and
we only have a few recent converts. We haven't been able to do very
much this week, we spent a lot more time than usual studying.
Some of the members here in Ho Chi Minh City have recieved mission
calls recently. The Blinns (the senior missionaries in Vietnam, who are
in charge of charity work and also stuff like passports and visas when
there are issues with that) said that it was a good thing (in a way)
that I lost my passport, because before that happened they had no idea
what to do to get the visas that the members would need to go to the
U.S.
We drink a lot of Coca-Cola here in the mission. It's not a requirement
per se, but President Moon recommended it. He says that it helps to
kill parasites and stuff like that, so a lot of us drink soda every
other day or so (or more often if we want).
There really isn't any news this week. Maybe I'll have some next week.
Have a great week everyone!
Elder Nguyen
