Hey everyone!
I hit my one year mark last Friday!! Its so crazy to think that I'm already halfway done, time has really flown by. Other than that there wasnt a ton that happened this week, but I guess heres some stuff:
Baptisms can now happen! I guess the government is letting people go swimming outside together so that means baptism by immersion is allowed outside. But it has to be in a sanitized, outdoor swimming pool. So the mission bought a swimming pool for the mission home and now people are being baptized in the backyard of the mission home haha. So maybe we'll get Wangyue there soon!
Funny/kinda scary story - a cult is currently trying to convert me haha. It's a church in Hong Kong called 全能神教会. All you Hong Kong missionaries PLEASE hit me up if you've heard of this church. Basically this girl slid into my DM's on facebook like a month ago and has been constantly messaging me since. But her account got deleted like 3 times (maybe cause shes in a cult...? haha) so she keeps messaging me with new accounts. I finally met with her and her friend over voice chat by myself (they said they would prefer if they just talked to me, probably cause Elder Cheang is from Macao and would know their church is a cult haha). Of course I had Elder Cheang & Chen listening to the conversation though the whole time. Basically they believe only in the Book of Revelations, not the rest of the Bible, and also that Jesus has already come again. They sent me a lot of kinda scary videos just showing a bunch of the things predicted in revelations would happen before the Saviour comes. When I met with tried to hide what they were doing- the wouldnt tell me the name of their church and stuff, but by the end of the conversation elder cheang was 100% sure they're the cult he was thinking of. So I'm gonna teach them the truth and hopefully get them baptized 
I was listening to the Character of Christ by Elder Bednar the past week (shoutout to the other Elder Ensign for the MTC version), and at the end he gave the invitation to read the whole Book of Mormon, from cover to cover, highlighting everything related to one particularly topic. I've done it 2 times on my mission already, but after listening, I decided I would do it again, but with something I've been thinking a lot about recently, the Will of God. I think it's always so fascinating to see all the new little bits of wisdom that show up, even though I've read the Book of Mormon quite a few times already. Something that stuck out to me as I was reading, was the simple but important reminder that no matter what, God's will never involves forgetting or forsaking us. I guess I already knew that, but wow it was such an important reminder
Heres a video for you all to watch! This is a video our mission put out, it's actually a chapel tour of the chapel I've spent basically my whole mission at, downtown manchester. It's a super unique building, I would highly recommend you all check it out! Has a good message as well.
