Hey all!
Really quick, transfers are next week! Wow this transfer went by fast. But that means my pday next week will be on the 26th instead of the 25th.
So it's been quite the average week. We haven't really been doing super great with finding and we dont have anyone progressing super well right now. We spent like a super long time this week finding which tbh gets super monotonous. I dont mind street contacting too much, but 4 or 5 hours a day of street contacting really just gets to me. So we've been trying to set up more appointments with our friends so we can help them progress. And then with our extra free time we go finding. We have quite a few friends who are pretty good, but I feel like the top 2 are really Jeremy and Jason. Every lesson I can just feel the Spirit so strongly. Theyve been so good at meeting with us and they attend church pretty much every week. Jason's mom was visiting him from China this week and he brought her to church! They both just seem so happy since we've met them! We're planning on inviting them to be baptized pretty soon. I'm excited for them!
In terms of random events:
1. I got “kabobtized” on Saturday for district tea! So every Saturday night my district all eats tea together. And this past time we got “kabobtized” which basically means eating “donner” meat at Pizza Co (a restaurant nearby). Idk why it exists but I guess I'm a part of Manchester YSA culture now haha.
2. Bible bashed a couple people this week! Not really bible bashed, just hastily cross referenced the Book of Mormon and the Bible for like half an hour on the street, while defending the church haha
3. I gave a talk yesterday in sacrament meeting! It was about becoming spiritually reliant. It's hard giving talks in the chinese group cause everyone there has been a member for only a couple months, or they're just investigators. Usually like half the people at church are investigators we have. So we have to talk pretty simply so we dont confuse them haha. But I think people were actually able to kinda understand me haha so good to see some progression!
4. New missionary handbook came out! Not super exciting but pretty much everything is exciting out here when you dont have Netflix haha (kidding)
5. Ate an actually huge dinner last night haha. Sophia (baptized in October) and her friend Jane spent like 3 hours cooking for us. Super nice, we never get fed in YSA so it was amazing! Also I'm betting Jane's gonna get baptized pretty soon so I'm pretty excited for that! That also leads to the next point which is that:
6. I got a Chinese name! Jane and Sophia made it for me, they're really proud of it haha. It's 高晟泽 (Gāo Shèngzé). They put like a week of thought into it haha
