We enjoyed a wonderful district conference and zone conference in Hanoi Vietnam. Pres. Moon and Elder & Sister Gong were there Saturday/Sunday with the members for the district conference, Sis. Moon and Mackenzie joined on Sunday night for the zone conference (due to the Christmas choir concert in Phnom Penh that Mackenzie was in). We had a wonderful time in Hanoi and really fell in love with the city. This was the first time we have had time to see some of it. Below Sis. Huong (recently completed her mission here, now lives in Hanoi) spent some time with Sis. Moon and Mackenzie showing them around.
A very old Catholic church in Hanoi
Christmas activities with the Vietnam missionaries! We made school supply kits that Elder & Sister Jones will take to schools. They included notes from the missionaries encouraging them.
A beautiful view of Hanoi from the Jones' 17th floor apartment-- it was a gorgeous sunny day with very clear visibility-- something of a rarity.
We had fun playing the gift exchange game...
The missionaries seem to have taken to heart Sis. Moon's advice to buy lufas and make sure they are scrubbing to avoid skin diseases!
Carving the turkey... the Jones' had a wonderful turkey dinner catered in.. complete with stuffing, mashed potatos, gravy and rolls. Delicious!
The missionaries with wonderful gifts sent from some wards back home...
The picture below was actually at the North District Conference in Phnom Penh, with Elder & Sister Gong... we have had two wonderful district conferences with them in December... they are absolutely wonderful and we have learned a lot from them.

A group photo from the Hanoi Vietnam zone conference -- held in the chapel there. We had a wonderful day of training and testimony together, and Elder & Sister Gong joined for part of it, and shared some wonderful thoughts and teachings with us.
