Week 99: May 31, 2021

 Hey everyone! Super cool week!

Lots of chinese miracles! We've really struggled the past basically year trying to find chinese people to teach, it's hard to find Chinese people who use white people social media like facebook or instagram, and because we can't really talk to them on the street, it makes it extra difficult. But for whatever reason, the past 2 weeks have been so good for finding chinese people on social media! And I've found that chinese people are super open to getting chapel tours, so we've given 3 people chapel tours this week and have like another 3 this upcoming week! I'm really excited :)

One of the people we gave a chapel to is nothing short of a miracle!! His name is Percy, he's from Shanghai and is studying at university of Manchester. He actually reached out to me first after I followed him. I invited him to come to the chapel for a tour on Saturday afternoon, and he texted back like an hour later and asked if he could come to the chapel later that night! so we changed our plans and he showed up at the chapel like 3 hours later for a chapel tour. And it went so well!!  He loved it and ended up coming to the church yesterday to partake of the Sacrament. We met him again after Sacrament meeting and he talked about how much he loves being in the church and the feelings he has. He asked how he can become a Christian, so we invited him to be baptized! And he said he will be baptized as soon as he finds out that God is real. So pray for him! Such a miracle :)

I feel like I write about food in like every other email but it's fine. We had a friend who wanted to meet with us for breakfast so we went to an English breakfast place - Wetherspoons and we had  a full english breakfast! It was super nice, I've actually never had a full english breakfast my whole time in england so it was nice. Its honestly not too different from what you'd have in America besides the baked beans ahah. We also had tea with a Chinese returning member and she bought us a ton of really posh waffles and macarons which was nice

Gotta do exchanges with Elder Newell AND Elder Ko this past week which was super cool as well! It's always really fun to serve with old companions

Just a really fulfilling week! also the area presidency officially accepted my extension request so I will be here until August 6th! :)
