新年快乐！
Next week is transfers so I guess I'll see if I'm staying in Manchester again or not! I have a feeling I'm gonna leave though but I guess we'll see. But elder chen has been here like the past 7 transfers so he might leave for his last transfer haha
Not much really went on this past week, we just ended up finding a lot this week since like all our friends are either home or at vacation. We didnt really have much success either which was really hard. But nonetheless I'm excited for all our friends to come back, and for university to get started up again! Itll be nice to have all the students back haha
We have a companionship goal for this next January to get 3 people on date! We have a couple people in mind: Vivianne (an older Chinese lady) who's soooo good. She just really has such a desire to learn more. Frankie, who we've only met with once, but he really wants to learn more about Jesus Christ. And then BoTing or YuBin, who we've been teaching for a while. So I'm excited to see where that goes!
I had some pretty interesting conversations this past week. We got bashed again by a muslim, who basically just did the same thing as last time, just give a ten minute long memorized speech. And at the end he just added “so do you wanna be a muslim now?” Great time haha. I also met the “crazy manchester lady”, which is what some people call some creepy lady who's on the streets a lot. Nobodys been able to talk to her before but for whatever reason she decided to talk to me. It was a decent conversation but I couldnt understand a single thing she was saying haha. And we talked to this chinese girl the other day who asked if “哈利波特” was a belief (Harry Potter). Relatable haha. So yeah, some all over the place conversations this past week
A sister from my home ward shared this quote with me a couple days ago, and I want to share it cause I really like it! It's from President Ezra Taft Benson: “Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace. Whoever will lose his life in the service of God will find eternal life.” This really relates to my mission plaque scripture Mark 8:35 “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.” Pretty simple, but always so important to remember that God always comes first! I know that as we put God first, we'll be so blessed! Happy new year everyone!

The big curvy building with the picture of the swimmers on it is the aquatic center, our church is right behind it on the same side of the street
I'll attach a pic of the church as well :)
