Transferred to Tân Sơn Nhất

 Xin chào mọi người! 

Hoping you all had a wonderful week! I'll try sending some of the warm weather from Vietnam your way. If you need a laugh, checkout the screenshot of a text message I got from a member one day. 

Things have been relatively calm here the past week, which I have to admit, is a bit refreshing. I love the chaos - it certainly makes for some good stories. I guess just being the main character all the time just gets exhausting 😉😎. This email will be short and sweet! 

Tết Celebration:

Last Preparation Day our district went to a beautiful street full of decorations and flowers for the holiday. We took some fun photos in our Áo Dài and then went to the church building where we celebrated as a Zone. It was a super fun time! I love getting to meet everyone and see how they are doing. There has been so much success and blessings in Vietnam, only more to come! 

Transfer to Tân Sơn Nhất: 

Last week I was transfered! I was moved from the Thảo Điền area to the neighbor area Tân Sơn Nhất with my new companion, Elder Tolley. He is extremely friendly and I look forward being able to serve with him this transfer! We've We live in a brand new apartment next to a big park. 

Although I changed locations, I am still in the same district as before. Essentially, I have the opportunity to teach new people and explore more of central Sài Gòn! Exciting. I really enjoy the change because it helps me stay on my toes and feel refreshed.

That's pretty much the highlights this week! I didn't take many photos this week, but you can check out the Google Photos of all the Tết decorations. I'm doing well and enjoying my mission. 

Wishing you all the best and extra love,

Sincerely, 
Anh Cả Reynolds

Welcome to Vietnam - Don't Take the Honking Personally

Xin chào mọi người!  They're sending me to Vietnam... it's a whole lot of scooters... Things have been great here in Vietnam. I'm currently sitting in a park after doing my second dance practice with some people we met last week. We're waiting for a friend to meet us to play some pickleball. If I wrote down everything that has happened within the past week this email would be too large to send, so here is a brief bullet point list of the highlights:  -Landed in Hanoi and did orientation. Was told I would be serving in the Ho Chi Minh area. Woo hoo! My Mission Presidency is awesome.  -Met my companion Elder Luân. His English is good but communicating is sometimes still difficult. 😅 I am constantly speaking Vietnamese, which has helped me learn a lot.  -Had first English Activity night and taught about Idaho, haha. The slideshow was already made by someone from Vietnam, and went over all the highlights of things like: Potatoes, sagebrush, dairy cows, and irrigation....

Hours in Hồ Chí Minh

 Alo, This week was an adventure - filled with good stories and blessings. I'm a little tired, but I'd rather be a tired missionary than a bored missionary.  Monday - Trains, Planes, and Automobiles Monday afternoon while enjoying  Preparation Day in the Old Quarter District, we got a call from the Elders who help our Mission President, the Assistants. The Assistants were flying down later in the evening to Hồ Chí Minh City to do a mission presentation -- but unfortunately one of them became very ill and would be unable to fly. They asked if I would be willing to pack and head down to help. Certainly wasn't what we expected, but we were ready to help. Elder McBride and I traveled back to Hà Đông, packed, and headed over. Elder McBride stayed with the ill missionary, while the other Assistant and I went down South.  We left at 7:15pm and landed in Hồ Chí Minh at 9:30pm. We got a taxi and stayed the night in Thảo Điền- the very first area I served in Vietnam, one year ...

We Didn't Start The Fire

(Note from Sally: This week is an extra long letter, so good thing you have the holiday break to read it. :) Ethan just found out this morning that he was on the  Vietnamese National News  - his part starts at the 19:00min mark. Also, he was asked to write his testimony and thoughts about this Christmas to share with our home ward here in Idaho, so I attached those in a Word Doc as well. ) Merry Christmas!   Alo mọi người, Yes - the title of the email is a reference to Billy Joel "We Didn't Start The Fire" and it is relevant to the story.  This week was one for the books. That's why this email is going to be a bit longer than the previous ones I have been sending. We've had about everything, from the police in our apartment to a wild Branch Christmas Party. Make sure to check out the Google Photo Album this week.  Last Monday - The Vietnamese UFO:  Last Preparation Day, as I mentioned in the previous email we were visiting a Non-Profit Government Organizati...
