Elder Brigham Halverson Greece Athens Mission: Another Busy One

ΓΕΙΑ!!

Well this was a great week, the hand of the Lord can be seen every day!

Tuesday was an interesting day, we got asked on Monday,by a random guy, to help out. So we went with him and he just dropped us off and left. Later another guy came and it turns out we were helping him set up a message shop. Hopefully we can go back sometime. He wants to come to English class which is awesome!

Wednesday we went to the Warehouse and had a good time there. We had some good conversations about the gospel. Then that night we had English class. it was awesome. We had a new student, which is Brother Matrapazees, so we are going to have some good times!

Thursday we headed to the Graveyard again to help. This time we cut up and moved a giant cherry tree that had fallen down in the storm a month or so ago. It was fun.

Then Friday was an awesome day! We met up with a guy that we had met on Monday named Haralambos. He is now our new investigator, he is so awesome, he is a former Greek Monk but is still young. He knows they are wrong it is awesome. He is also going to teach us some taekwondo it is so awesome! Then later we met up with our security guard friend at the University and it went really well. He is prepared by God to receive the gospel. We hope that we can introduce it in the right way.

Saturday was a crazy day. We went in the morning and had a unsuccessful soccer finding. Then a meal with brother Todi. Then we went home and headed back out to meet up with Dimitris who had just got back from vacation. We ate some really good Greek food, oh man it was so good, just some potatoes and pork but it was so good. That evening we had an activity about the plan of Salvation. It was so awesome!

We had an awesome Sunday! We had church and it was really good. We had two of our investigators there and Maria Stilo came again with her daughter! it is so awesome to see them come back to the gospel! After we had a meeting with the ZLs in Athens on Skype and talked about the mission transfer a bit and what we as leaders need to do to prepare. That night we met up with a referral from a senior couple in Cyprus. We met up with this man, Kostas, and his wife, Eleni, and they took us to an international food festival, down at the beach, it was so cool!
