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.

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...
