Alo,
Glad to see everyone is doing well and staying healthy! Thank you for those of you who wrote last week, I really appreciate it! This week was interesting - no huge stories to share but lots of little fun ones and random events.
Preparation Day:
Our district went to the Temple of Literature together and then got some good bún chả in the Old Quarter area. Elder Kotter and I went and got some fancy haircuts and then relaxed for the rest of the day. It was very refreshing. We also bought some really, really, loud bicycle horns for our bikes to help us DOMINATE the roads while we bike. The horns we have make us sound like birds, hence the title of the email. We have noticed it makes quite a difference - people don't cut in front of us anymore.
The 103 Year Old Man:
Outside of the church one day Elder Kotter and I stopped to talk to an old man sitting out by the lake. He was 103 years old! He had no teeth and we understood nothing he was saying. I tried asking him what he has learned most throughout his life, but I got nothing. Sorry.
Exchange with Elder Huỳnh:
There was another MLC this month, so I went on exchange with the new Elder our mission got. It was a fun time! I made him Jell-O for breakfast and then we went and got bún chả for lunch. He is from Southern Vietnam, and Bún chả is a dish found in the north, so it was his first time having it. (I felt so cool, I am literally a northern Vietnamese person now). He said it was pretty good.
Last Social Media Meeting:
I did my last meeting as a social media leader which is weird... it is what I have been doing for the past 6 months so it was kinda sad. I will miss working with the team but I know SO MANY miracles are going to happen with the new team and leaders.
When I got my mission blessing, one of the things my Stake President said was that I was not going to see "the fruit of my labors". I found that to be pretty alarming when I first started my mission, and it always haunted me a bit. However, I have come to realize my social media calling was a fulfillment of that blessing. Being able to play a small part in helping find other online to be baptized and change their life has been really satisfying. It is a small part, but one that I have appreciated and come to learn a lot from.
Talk:
On Sunday, I gave a talk about listening to the Holy Ghost. Here is the talk --> https://docs.google.com/
