District Conference visits were Saturday, December 17th, the day after our Christmas Conference with the Vietnam Zone. We visited President Tung and his wife. They pose in front of a picture they had painted where one of them grew up. We also visited one of the sister's recent convert who is a wonderful and sweet lady. Elder Kim received a Christmas tie from home. We brought it over from the mission home and he loved it so much he wore it every day we were there.
After the District Conference, we had a baptism of two people. One the sister's investigator and the other the Elder's investigator.
Quang's Mom received baptism. She is a woman who rarely smiles even though she is happy. She had us come to her home after and she had prepared lots of fruit which we couldnt' eat because we had just eaten at the church, so she sent it back to Cambodia with us.
In order for a baptism in this rented building, a portable baptismal font needs to be set up and taken down after each baptismal service. They set this up before the District Conference. The Relief Society Sisters are preparing a meal to celebrate District Conference (members come from a long ways, and for special events bring a type of potluck because they are all so hungry!). The sisters had to prepare around the font. The Elders are seen taking it down and water got all over the floor from some little children,and Elder Kim wipes it up.
A few of the Young Adults and Quong's Mom play a game after all the festivities while they wait for a special meeting.We had a wonderful conference for the district members, a wonderful conference for the Vietnam Zone, and a wonderful time with a great spirit in Vietnam.
