Hai Bà Trưng - Phần Hai (Part Two)

Alo,


It has been another week here in the HBT area. Nothing too crazy happened, but we did get our news for the upcoming transfer! 

Monday:
The district went to a massive market in Hanoi to do some fun shopping. This places has everything you could possibly need or want - with hundreds of little shops selling knock-off shoes, bags, hats, and other strange things with famous brands. 

Elder Kotter and I specifically went to find raw fabric materials to make some suits. We found some people willing to sell the fabric for a good price, but we need to find a person to actually make the suit. The people who sell the materials know where to take it, but they charge you extra for them to take the materials and do it. After searching in the market we ate at Chops, a burger place, and then went to an American Import Store and bought some Root Beer. It was a great day. 

Transfer Tea:
I will be staying here in HBT and training a new Elder! I am excited. I know there will be some challenges and new things to experience, but I know it will help me learn and grow a lot. We are excited for all of the new missionaries. With all the new missionaries, mission tours and special devotionals, we are going to be quite busy!

That is all from me folks, send me an update on how you are doing. If any of you have advice about training let me know, I'd love to implement some ideas. 

Thanks! Love you all.

Hanoian Hamburgers

  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 ...

Escaping and Entering The Matrix

  Alô, Wishing you a happy end to your summer break and a successful start to the upcoming semester, or whatever adventure you are onto next. If you have some spare time, send me some photos or a little update of what you have been up to!  As for me, this might be the busiest/chaotic I've been on my mission so far. I'll do my best to organize this email the best I can. The Matrix  As mentioned in the previous email, my new companion Elder Bird and I are currently in a temporary apartment, until we get to our new apartment later this week. [ The last apartment Elders were staying in got sold out underneath them, resulting in this situation ]. We've just been living out of our suitcases - just waiting to move and get settled in. The apartment we have been staying in is called "The Matrix" - and it has certainly been a fitting name, as it truly is an escape to try and enter and leave the complex. It's also resulted in me making plenty of movie references. My pers...

Buddist Monks and Ba Đình

 Hello everyone! Hope you have been doing well. Congratulations to those of you finishing up your semesters, and keep pushing on for those in the end game!  Remember in my last email I said "pray for some stories?". Well - I don't know who prayed for them, but Heavenly Father certainly answered your prayers. This week has been quite crazy, but fun.  Last Preparation Day: Last Preparation Day was a blast. We planned with our district to travel to a cool hike with a cave and Buddhist temple. So, we ordered our taxi and went on our way. Thirty minutes into the taxi ride and checking on the map we realized we were in fact not going to the correct Buddhist temple - we put in the wrong address, and were riding in the opposite direction. Being 10 minutes away from our new destination (and almost accidentally leaving the zone) we decided to see what the temple would be like.  Upon arrival, it was clear the temple was under major renovations and closed. We checked out the lit...
