Hey! 你好！
Good week! In terms of random events, I finally got my hair cut! Its basically a bowl cut but once I do my hair it looks ok haha. Also I'm trying to eat healthier cause every week I buy wayyyy too much junk food haha. So this week for snacks I got myself some apples, carrots, peppers, and hummus. Pretty excited haha, too bad I'm already missing chocolate 
Our mission president as well as our bishop finally said we can go to the chapel now! So I'm pretty excited about that, now we can go download a million things using the church wifi haha. The only problem is that there can only be 1 companionship in the building at a time (cause government guidelines), and fortunately the Manchester YSA ward has 5 companionships covering it, the most missionaries in one area in the whole mission haha. So we split up the chapel so everyone gets a couple hours there every other day. Which is better than nothing! We're currently working on some videos at the chapel including possibly ping-pong and also a piano duet haha. Also its like a mile walk to the chapel and also back to our flat as well which has seriously been like my favourite part of the day. So fun, such a blessing!
Funny story! So we've been messaging a bunch of people on Facebook and stuff, but somehow I ended up friending a man from india. And right off the start it became clear he wants to be my friend haha. He doesn't text me, he just sends voice memos all the time, and wants me to do the same thing. His English is surprisingly good, I found that out when he sang some american folk songs to me. Let me quote what he said in his voice recording, “And Mark! Have you any interest about traditional american folk songs? There is a famous one from 19th century. Which I am singing, so please listen to it. 'And I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee...'” He sang a couple songs to me and I was literally dying the whole time it was so funny haha. Him singing is now one of my alarms to wake up in the morning haha. Also I'm gonna make him a friend this upcoming week so watch out for that
Miracle! So one of our most progressing friends right now is Siyao. He's literally amazing, he LOVES reading the Book of Mormon. To test that out we invited him to read Jacob 5, which he did and really enjoyed haha. Hes a legend, he'll probably be on date for baptism soon! Well like 2 weeks ago he told us he would be going home to china by the end of the month, and wasnt sure if he would come back. So we were super sad cause we weren't sure if he'd have another chance to hear the Gospel. Well this week he told us that unexpected problems randomly came up with his Visa and also the virus back in china, and hes actually gonna have to stay in Manchester!! For at least the summer and probably for this next year of school! Ahhhhhh such a huge miracle!! God answers prayers!
