Vietnamese Language Training at the Amanda Knight Hall
January 9 - 20, 2017




         Our time spent under the tutorship of the ten young Elders was amazing, They taught us of the culture of Vietnam as well as how to speak some basics in Vietnamese. Most of them were either from Vietnam or from America and had served there on their missions.
        We began each session with prayer and felt the Lord bless us each day. By the end of the two weeks we could do basic greetings of conversation and had learned how to pray including thanking our Father in Heaven for ceratin things and asking him for His help in many of several areas. 
       The Spirit was so strong and we felt He was helping us to prepare to be with the wonderful people of Vietnam.

Two of our energetic and wonderful, Preach My Gospel instructors -
They were always inspiring us to be our best.










 


                     Our MTC experience was wonderful, full of new friends and experiences,
                                 and lots of inspiration. We feel blessed to have this experience

 
 
The Monday before we left for our mission we toured welfare square with the other humanatarian missionaries and had a delicious lunch in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

During our humanitarian training we learned about the Church humantarian program and how to implement the programs we are responsible for. We want to remember our new friends and follow them on their missions around the world.

  1. We are glad to see that you made it to your mission field safely. We also are amazed that you only took two large and one small bag as luggage. We always had to strain to get everything into four larger and two carry-ons. We look forward to sharing your futures adventures as you serve the Father's children.
