Alô mọi người,
This week has been pretty uneventful - but exhausting. Regardless, it has been very productive and fun! Elder Mai and I have been working hard and staying busy making lots of videos... haha. I'm certain some of you have seen a couple of them.
Last Preparation Day:
Our district went to the mall to get some food and played pool. Then Elder Mai and I had to go run lots of errands - it wasn't a super restful P-Day. In fact, I think it was the most exhausting day of last week.
Random Stories and Experiences:
This next section will just bit little bits and pieces of funny things that happened throughout the week.
-Elder Mai and I moved a bathtub from the 3rd floor to the first floor of a member's home. I don't even know how they got it up the first time. It was an interesting experience.
-Elder Mai and I taught a woman from Ghana Africa on Wednesday in English. Five min into the lesson Elder Mai completely fell asleep. Afterwards, he told me "teaching in English was exhausting" and that he needed a break. He did do a really good job though - once I tapped him awake for him to share something.
-Taught an extremely well versed man in the Bible about the Book of Mormon and its connection to the Bible. He was stunned by 3rd Nephi.

I had a really special experience this week. As I mentioned above we have had the opportunity to teach a family who is living here in Vietnam from Ghana and Nigeria. My grandparents served humanitarian missions for the church in these countries. I really felt like my grandmother was with me while I was teaching. It is quite difficult for me to describe the feeling I was having while teaching them, other than having a sense of love and charity I do not have. I have just had a strong impression that while we have taught those lessons my grandmother was with me and was smiling.
Sorry - I know this spiritual thought is a little bit unstructured. I truly don't know how to explain. I just know Grandma Reynolds was with me and teaching with me.
