Hey everyone!
Transfers came this week, it's been really fun serving with Elder Ko and Mortier and training, but sadly I'm getting transferred out tomorrow. Elder Ko and Moriter will keep serving together and I'm gonna have a new companion. My new companion is Elder Smart, he's from Wales and was reassigned from serving in South Africa like a year ago! That's basically all I know about him so far though. The funny thing is that I'm actually still gonna be in the same area, I'm literally moving to a different flat about a block away. So I'll be in the same area and ward, just different companion and flat. It's a little bittersweet though, he's an English missionary so I'll have less opportunities to speak Chinese, but I'll still work on finding and teaching chinese people. I'm also gonna be moving away from the flat that I've lived in for over a year now which is giving me a whole lot of mixed feelings. It's kinda like moving away from home, but my home will just be a block away haha. It's really sad just seeing my mission coming to an end, I will most likely finish my mission in the Manchester YSA ward now though which I'm excited about. This will be my 10th transfer here!
It's been a really nice week though, lots of Chinese work going on! It's been really cool to see the progress of the chinese work, basically everytime we've taught a chinese person this week, they've brought a friend or two with them. It's been such a blessing and I have a lot of hope for the chinese work here
We also had a hotpot this past week which was so fun! One of the Chinese members, godfrey, wanted to have hotpot with us so we ended up inviting a couple chiense friends with us and we basically had a big chinese activity, it was really fun. Godfrey bought ox stomach which honestly was pretty good, I feel like I can just eat anything now haha. We started preparing for the hotpot at like 6 PM but it took a lot longer than expected - we were supposed to start eating by 7 but didn't start until 8:30 
as missionaries we're supposed to be back in our flats by 9 or 9:30 normally but we didn't leave the chapel until 10:20 pm and got home probably at 10:45 haha, it was a crazy night
I've spent a lot of time the past couple weeks just reflecting on my mission and how much I feel like I've changed. Just so grateful for the Gospel and the Atonement of Christ and that through them, we're able to change our lives around and be better everyday! :)
