Hi everyone,
We had a good
experience a couple weeks ago that I forgot about. On Saturday (two
weeks ago) we had a lunch appointment with a member. However, I got an
impression to visit a less active member instead of going to the
meeting. We visited the member, but he didn't come to church the next
day. However, yesterday he came to church! It was exciting to see that
we were able to help someone come back to church.
The finding project hasn't yielded much. We found
out on Friday that it is illegal to use Facebook in Vietnam, so we've
started searching an additional site for members who are probably in
Vietnam. However, it's still quite difficult to find anyone because a
lot of people simply don't have information, and when they have it the
Facebook profiles that match their names don't have information, or at
least not information that matches.
On Friday, Elder Workman and I had to move to a new
apartment. Ours was too far from all of the other missionaries in the
mission, so we got moved to another apartment that is closer to the
mission home. It is around the corner from the church, which is nice,
but we also have to cross a large and rather steep bridge to get to our
area now (our old apartment was in our area.)
Our zone also got a new missionary on Friday. His
name is Elder Barker. He actually speaks Vietnamese quite well for a
new missionary. He is in my district, and the same apartment. The Zone
Leader, Elder Tien, is his trainer.
Besides that, not much is happening here. We
haven't found any new investigators, but that's not really news anymore.
We're still searching, still asking for referrals, and still not
finding anyone. We're going to continue to look, but there aren't many
places left to look. Still, we're doing good here, and I'm happy for
it.
Have a great week everyone!
Elder Nguyen
