It's been another enjoyable week on the mission, full of excitement and disappointment. First of all let me talk to you about a few of the good things about England before i forget. #1 Nutella- Netella is found in America as well but i've never had it, it is a chocolate hazelnut spread. It is huge here! and let me tell ya i was missing out. First thing i want you to do after reading this email, is go out to your nearest grocery store and buy some Nuttela! then go home toast some bread and spread some Nuttela on that baby! It taste like pure Heaven! #2 is called squash and it is a drink here in England, next week i'll send you a picture of it. No its not squash flavored drink! it is just called squash.Basically you just pour a little bit of squash in a cup and then fill the rest of the cup up with water! its super duper i'm gonna fill one of my suitcases with it when i come home. Other than those two great things the food is pretty plain here! they do have good deserts here though! they don't call it desert though , they call it pudding.
Apparently Hereford has the highest concentration of pubs in the country. Thats kind of a big deal because there are a butt load of pubs in England in General. so to be in the city with the highest concentration of pubs makes street contacting a bit interesting. Sometimes it's a funny experience sometimes its not so great. On Friday night me and Elder Jenkins were doing some late night street contacting in town center! so it being a Friday night and it being town center it was very interesting haha! Me and Elder Jenkins were talking to this polish girl (p.s mom send me polish things so i can learn polish) . so while we are having a great conversation with this girl this drunk guy comes up to us basically yelling at us to see if we got a "fag" or in other words a cigarette. So we are teaching this girl about Jesus Christ while a drunk guy is yelling "you got a FAG" " are you stupid Mormons" ! so elder Jenkins takes the opportunity to start teaching the drunk guy while i teach the polish girl. elder Jenkins ends up giving the book of Mormon to the drunk guy and shares some scriptures with him to show him that he will see his daughter again and the drunk guy starts crying in the middle of the street haha! the polish girl wants to learn better English and wants to read the Book of Mormon and gives us all her contact info! Ended up being a great night. as we were biking away we saw the drunk guy huddled up in a ditch reading the book of mormon.
We also have bad experiences though! we always get heckled at in the streets. Missionary work isnt always pleasant most of the time people stare at you or give you mean gestures or shout things out at you. Missionaries aren't exactly loved here in England but hey that's alright cause some people do listen and some people do change and that's all that matters. By the way i got lots of post today i'm excited to read them! thanks for the letters they are awesome! plus all the cool missionaries get post!
Elder Weihing
p.s " were ya born in a barn" is being spread across England like a wildfire!
Jordan didn't tell us what this is... I'll ask and hopefully he will tell us next week!
