大家好!!
IMPORTANT! This upcoming Sunday is our mission's “Why I believe” devotional. Recent converts are gonna share their testimonies/stories. It's gonna be on Facebook live and all of you should watch! It's gonna be amazing and the missionaries are all doing a special musical number which I'm sooo excited for. It's gonna be at 6:30 PM UK time, but that's 11:30 AM Utah time. Here's the link, plus some details. You don't need a facebook account to watch:

Now onto this week. Not super exciting but heres some things
Mini transfers happened cause like 20 missionaries got reassigned to the england manchester mission! They got sent home cause of the virus and just barely got out of quarantine. Elder Newell is leaving me! So sad haha. But Elder Cheang is joining me and Elder Chen! He's from Macao and I'm super excited to learn some Cantonese with him haha (kidding). Looks like I'm gonna be eating exclusively chinese food the next little bit, right? haha
Balcony contacting! So the flat complex we live in is arranged so it's basically flats surrounding a car park. And there's balconies off all the flats facing into the car park. So this past week we had some pretty good conversations with people about 50 feet away. We might've had to yell a little but they were lowkey good convos haha. We've only spoken with like 3 of our neighbors so far, and they aren't super interested in talking religion, so we're working slowly on that haha. Wearing missionary clothing all day has actually started one or two of those convos haha. “Why on earth are those people wearing sunday best sunbathing on their balconies??” It's been a nice break from staring at our phones all day
I gotta talk about elder chen's food habits now. That man has a STRANGE palate haha but what can I even say. A quick list of his meals this past week:
-Cheese and raspberry jam sandwich. Cooked in a George foreman grill so the cheese is nice and melty
-Fish ball pasta. Carrots, noodles, plus a whole lot of fish balls we found in our freezer from forever ago. I mean it's not like I hate fish balls but that must have tasted a little interesting haha
-Egg yolk and parmesan pasta. He cooked some noodles and then mixed in raw egg yolks, parmesan cheese, and pepper. Maybe it's supposed to be posh? Didn't taste like it though haha. And I was a little terrified I was gonna get food poisoning cause those eggs were not cooked at all
-Also! This man is literally 4 ft. 6 in. but he eats SOOO much. I get a little concerned for both him and also our budget when he peels an orange, sticks the WHOLE thing into his mouth, swallows, and then 10 seconds later proceeds to do the exact same thing with another orange. He basically eats double the amount of food I do. So exciting haha

A couple weeks ago I mentioned a referral from Lancaster named Daniel. Well we finally got ahold of him and now he's on date for baptism on May 28! Now we have 2 people on date, him and Wangyue (May 23). So excited! Now we just have to wait for the government lockdown to be over haha :)
