 Alo,


Wishing you all a nice start to December and lots of fun Christmas traditions. No joke, the weather here is actually cooling down and I need to go get another sweater, haha!

This week has been really good. I enjoy my new companion, Elder McBride, who also just so happens to be from Meridian, Idaho. We laugh a lot and have a lot of fun. The branch is really great as well. I get 4-5 meals every week from the one and only Richard Pico, who brings us all sort of interesting food. The district I'm serving in is really great too, so I look forward to the coming weeks. 

Nothing extraordinary happened this week - it's mainly been a lot of organization and meeting new people. We have been meeting lots of new people and are hoping they commit to come to church activities so they can learn more.

Spiritual Thought:

On Sunday, we read a conference talk "His Hand Ready to Help You" from October 2024. It talks about how we have waves of trials and challenges in our life that can cause us to feel like we have been swept into the depths of the sea. However, Christ is always there ready to pull us up, like he did with Peter. 

As we reach out to Him in faith, He will always be there, and in His time, He will be ready and willing to grasp our hands and pull us up to a safe place.

Christ is ready to help us - but we have to be humble and willing to reach.

We will be going to the mall for some lunch and have a pretty laid back P-Day. Feel free to shoot me an email, and I should be able to respond!

Happy Holidays,

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 ...

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...

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...
