Alo -
This week was eventful! We had two exchanges with our Zone Leaders and our monthly MLC meeting. It has been great to see the new leadership come in and how they will influence the future of the mission.
Saturday was a "Mini-Mission" event which was super fun. Mini-Mission is an opportunity for members to experience the day in the life of a missionary by joining a companionship. We had two members from our branch join us, anh Châu and em Lâm. They did a fantastic job with our busy schedule and taught like pro missionaries already. We look forward to them serving missions in the future!
Story behind the title of the email: On exchanges with one of the Zone Leaders, we stopped by one of the most prestigious hotels in Hanoi, the "French Metropolitan" to pickup a package. Despite wearing missionary attire, we felt underdressed. I tried opening one of the doors, which was not a "pull" door and all the doormen laughed. I think they figured out we weren't staying there pretty quickly. Nonetheless, the French ambience, clean floors and gardens were refreshing.
Spiritual Thought - Alma 28:14
And thus we see the great call of diligence of men to labor in the vineyards of the Lord; and thus we see the great reason of sorrow, and also of rejoicing -- sorrow because of death and destruction among men, and joy because of the light of Christ unto life.
Missionary work has truly been a joyful time. There are certainly frustrating and tiring moments, but it is nothing in comparison to the joy. I know Christ can bring us true joy, even in our most difficult trials
Happy day, all is well in Vietnam. Love you!
