🎶 Should I Stay or Should I Go?🎶

Alo mọi người,

Hope you are having a wonderful week and a great month of June! 

This week was pretty busy but not much happened - I was in some meetings with SLC and getting social media things ready for our new Mission President. We have transfers coming up this week (this is when missionaries can change to different areas/get new companions), so it will be interesting to see what happens. I am 97% certain I will be staying here in Ba Đình. If I do, it will be the first time on my mission in 9 months that I stay somewhere! Kinda exciting, but I'm also a little nervous - I have always moved, so it would be strange not to! 

This week we had our District Conference which was super fun. I got to see members from my previous area in Cầu Giấy and old friends I taught that got baptized after I moved! It was so special to see them again. The new members already have callings and are doing such a fantastic job. 

Mercy Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ

As I mentioned last week, I have been doing a lot of study on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It has really helped me understand the ideas of forgiveness, justice, and mercy much more. This week I read a really interesting scripture about Mercy from 1 Nephi 1:20 that states, "...the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance". I thought the wording "tender mercies" to be quite interesting. This week, I invite you to ponder on some "tender mercies" you have had recently this week. What does it mean to you and what are some that you have seen? 

Wishing you a wonderful week full of success and joy! Remember to do what you can - and let go of the things that you can't. 

Love,
Anh Cả Reynolds

  Alo- Hope you are doing well and enjoying the Spring Weather. We are hoping to start getting some warmer weather this next week (meaning the grey overcast that has been here for the past 3.5 months leaves). This week I don't really have much to report on. Always Adjusting: This week was mainly just adjustment to the new area and assignment. This transfer I'll be helping as an Assistant, which is mainly a lot of behind the scenes work. It reminds me a lot of when I was doing Social Media work a little over a year ago - rather than managing the social media, you help with different aspects of the mission. There isn't anything extremely stressful or overwhelming -- it is just lots of small tasks you have to learn to do. My current companion has great experience in this role and has been teaching me lots. He leaves at the end of this transfer, so I am trying to absorb as much as I can to get it ready for the next transfer.  The Mission Branch: One aspect I have been enjoying ...

30 Chưa Phải Là Tết

  Alo, It has been a great week. After eating some delicious tacos and having a crossover with the Binh Duong/Phu My Hung districts in Saigon, we flew back to Hanoi in the evening. We finished our Hanoi Zone Conference and welcomed our two new senior missionaries. We've been meeting with lots of our friends and having member meals, which is always enjoyable.  On Sunday we had a man from China come to participate in a sacrament meeting. We aren't certain how he found out about the church, because he randomly showed up at the building. I helped "interpret" for him, but I could really only give him the general idea of what was going on. I was feeling a little embarrassed how little I could communicate, despite my previous studies. During the sacrament, I was just praying I could at least do the basics to help him the best I can. After we took the water, he tapped me on my shoulder and asked me a question. I had to ask him to repeat it 2 times because I thought I misunder...

Unphởgettable

  Alo-  This week was enjoyable having our MLC meeting and preparing for the upcoming transfer. Lots of changes are happening, which is exciting. It just means more unforeseen good things are yet to come!  Tuesday, I conclude my time as a missionary. Service as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has been such a blessing to me. Both written and spoken words are inadequate to share about what I've learned in these last 23 months. So I'd just like to give a brief, but sincere testimony: I testify we have a loving God, who is our Heavenly Father. I know he has a Son, Jesus Christ, who sacrificed his life for us. I've learned how God's Plan for us will lead us to eternal happiness and joy. I know as we repent, we can overcome our burdens and be strengthened by the Lord. I know as we read in the Book of Mormon and pray, we will have an increased knowledge of His love for us. Overall, I testify true, pure happiness and joy is found in Jesus Christ...
