Hey everyone!
Shannon got baptized on Saturday! It was really exciting for her, it was honestly crazy how fast everything happened. We found her about a month ago, and within like a week & a half, she was on date for baptism. And now she's baptized, only a month and a couple days later. She's only 17 as well, shes actually golden. She just messaged us and said “Im intrigued, what's the Book of Mormon?”, and now she's baptized! It was such a special day. A little sad Elder Price wasn't able to make it, Shannon originally got in contact with him and he was involved with all of the teaching. He was supposed to baptize her but President Johnson decided the night before he probably shouldn't come up here since most of the mission is really serious with the virus right now. So Elder Sewell baptized her, I guess she's his first baptism even though he only talked to her once before the baptism? Elder price still got to watch over the phone which is good!
Anyways, training Elder Sewell has been fun. He's from Sheffield in the UK which is really close to here, and he was originally assigned to serve in the Phillipines. He's been fun to serve with, it's weird training someone again especially since they're not assigned to speak Chinese, but I'm enjoying it. Also trying to learn tagalog but I have a terrible memory so cant even remember how to say hello haha
That's really it for this week, not anything super exciting going on. The members keep giving us food though, we literally have soooo much food in our flat right now. Our elders quorum president came over the other with like £60 worth of groceries & junk food, and we had 3 tea appointments so we're stressing about eating all the food we have haha
