Well it was another busy week but another good one!
Last Monday we had a meeting with Vasilis, one of our investigators, he is an interesting guy and a former member of the KKK. We don't know to much about him other than he wants to learn about the gospel and change. We are trying to help him out.
Tuesday we had to bolt from District Meeting to do mission prep with a member, Nikos, he is a really cool guy and is planning to serve a mission in about a year after he finishes with the military which is really cool he is such a cool kid. Then we went to a lesson with Hami and Oddyseas again. We were able to answer all of Oddyseas' questions. It was cool. He knows it is true there are just so many problems with being baptized into another religion - which sucks - so we are going to have to see if we can help them out.
Wednesday was an interesting day. For some reason Elder Gaskill was needed for an exchange so we dropped him off. Elder Zizzi was sick so we had to find something to do inside that day. Which wasn't super fun but I got a lot done that I needed.
Then Thursday we had a good day. We went to Salvation Army in the morning and helped people find some clothes. Later in the day we had a lesson with Maria Rapti. We helped her to understand why she couldn't pray to Παναγια (Virgin Mary) so it was quite fun.
Friday we went to the friendship center. Elder Gaskill taught an English class cause I still can't teach English haha. We also did weekly planning.
On Saturday we had a meeting with a member at Sklavanitis, a really big grocery store with the best food court ever. It was good. Then we were able to have a meeting with Stamatina a less active who was banned from missionary contact for reasons better not to be known. We were told to give her a second chance and so that is what we did. Her Mom and Dad are really cool. We were told that she had questions but she didn't seem to have any so it was weird.
Sunday we had church. Hami came to church for the first time in years with her son it was really cool! After we had a meal at Presidents house which was really good as well.
Today we are emailing early because later today we are going to the church to play volleyball and eat. I also have to pack cause I leave for my new adventure on Wednesday!
Recently I have been thinking a lot about why we do the things we do all the time. Such as read the scriptures every day and pray. I mean I knew it brang blessing but people have asked me questions and I have thought about the specific blessings and it is amazing. I would invite you all to just take 5 minutes and list some blessings you get from doing these simple things and you will be surprised what you find!
Σας Αγαπάω,
Πρεσβύτερος Χάλβερσον
