Hey everyone!
Been a really nice week, have a couple highlights!
First is that the chinese missionaries are allowed to go street contacting again!! Only the Chinese missionaries though, and we get about 4 hours each week to do it. The reasoning behind it is just that most Chinese people don't tend to use facebook or instagram very much so finding them online isn't as effective or plausible, so we've been allowed to go out on the streets and just talk to chinese people! And it's honestly been amazing, I didnt realize how much I missed street contacting, but it's literally been the best. Talking to people on the street is actually so fun and we've been able to find a couple new chinese people to work with which is fun! Finding people online is more effective in general, but it's just been an exception for chinese people, which has been a huge blessing
And then more food! Theres 4 companionships of missionaries in the Manchester YSA ward, so we have a lot of fun. We had a waffle party last saturday and made a tonnn of waffles, and we're gonna have another one today with even more waffles 
so excited for that! we also tried black pudding together, which is something english people traditionally eat for breakfast. But the catch is that it's literally congealed pigs blood and oats mixed together, it sounds super strange haha. It actually doesnt taste bad though! It kinda tastes like stuffing. I couldn't really get over the texture though, it didnt sit too well in my stomach.
I feel like my stomach and taste buds are very strange though, I cant really figure them out. Because yesterday, a Chinese member made hotpot for us because I'm going home in like a week and a half, and he bought a couple strange things. He got 黄喉， 牛肚 (ox stomach and ox throat), and chicken gizzards. it looked super nasty, the texture was super strange, but I actually didn't mind eating it ahha, it didnt taste weird at all to me. I guess my body's fine eating Chinese food but when it comes to a british person's breakfast it freaks out.
Last thing! Just want to invite you all take a couple minutes and watch this video the church released this past week. It's the story of my mission president, President Johnson. It's super powerful, you won't regret it!!

Also theres a man that rides his bike around Manchester like everyday and is really famous to mancunians, everyone loves him and calls him boombox Barry! Finally got a selfie with him and it is high quality, probably my favourite selfie of all time.
