Your Favourite Weekly Virus Update

Hello everybody! 
Welcome again to this weeks installment of "Living with Corona: the Continuing series" this week: "Finding people to Teach"!

Yo actually though this week was different from any other week I've been here, it was kind of crazy. Since we dont have english and most of our investigators have moved out of Saigon until further notice, we decided to just go down our list of numbers from the english activity and call everyone. After that we set up an appointment and hope for the best. It's been kind of crazy because a lot of people have actually been able to meet. So. We have had. A lot of meetings this week. And not many people interested,  but ours is not to split the mountain but to gradually chip away at it. (Wow that actually sounded pretty cool!) At the very least it helps us to practice our conversation and teaching skills, so it's all good. 

Oh yeah, and last week after an unexpected transfer, we got AC Nhân (elder boston green) in our apartment, who happens to be a fellow davis dart, so it's been awesome to reminisce and talk about kaysville haha. Also, hes just an awesome guy overall, and super funny. 

We also got a new sister in our area named chị hoang lan ( i think I misspelled that sorry) from oregon, so it's been cool to talk with her about oregon too!

Anyway not very much in the way of cool specific events. We've got to meet so many awesome people here, i feel very blessed. And I feel so blessed to see all the little miracles God gives me each day. I promise you hes out there and wants to help you through this hard time. 

Anyway, love you all!

Tết Tết Tết Tết Đến Rồi

January 27, 2020 Hello everybody!  This week has been really weird. This week was the Big Tết week, and EVERYBODY was gone. Like, literally, the streets were empty, and all the stores, restaurants gas stations, grocerie stores and everything else was just closed. It was super spooky. So we've been living off our stockpile of instant noodles for the last 3 days haha. But despite the emptiness, we were blessed with some surprises this week! We met with this woman out of nowhere and decided to get lunch and she ended up being super interested in our message, which is awesome. Also this man called us out of nowhere and said he wanted to meet and so we were like k, he wants to learn english. But no! He was interested in our message as well! So that's been super awesome! Participating in the new years celebrations have been super fun also! Lots of yummy food and lots of lucky money  Anyway, this week we've been meeting with a lot of families. Something t...

Đang sống vào một cầu nguyện (Living on a Prayer)

Chào Anh Chị Em Chú Cô Ông Bà!                                            November 19, 2019 15 November 2019. An important day for Việt Nam and the world. On that day, the church was officially recognized by the Việt government as a real religion. For a bit of context, the government only recognizes Catholicism "protestantism" , Buddhism, and a handful of other local religions. All in all, less than a dozen religions. It just goes to show that having patience and showing respect for everyone ( even if we don't agree with their principles) brings great blessings. In fact,  the government specifically cited the respect of the church for local culture, customs, and communities as a reason for their recognition, so that's awesome. Hopefully, this is just one step in a long line of blessings for the people of Vietnam that culminates, (hopefully) with a Temple. (WOO WOO)...

They Are Here!

An email sent by Sister Chiles December 17, 2019 Dear Families -  It is the wee hours of the morning here in Hanoi, but I know you are probably anxious to know that your missionaries have arrived safe and sound. Well,  they are here!    We had three airport pickups tonight! Our new Assistant to the President, Anh C ả  Sáng, arrived from Ho Chi Minh City first, then Anh C ả  Kiên (Smith) arrived from Cambodia.  He is on temporary assignment in our mission for a transfer or two to get some more experience with Vietnamese before he heads back to work in the Vietnamese branch in Phnom Phenh.  We think it is great to have him!  Our 3 sisters and 4 elders from the MTC arrived shortly afterward. We have been anticipating and preparing for their arrival, and are SOO excited to have them here.     Everyone arrived safely; and all the luggage did as well; so that is wonderful!   Hugs all around, a quick picture, and ...
