Elder Brigham Halverson Greece Athens Mission: Ο ΝΑΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΠΟΣΕΙΔΩΝA!!!!

ΓΕΙΑ ΣΑΣ!!!

So it was a great week and so lets get to it.

So last Monday and Tuesday we just went crazy and handed out flyers for the Jenny Oaks Baker concert that we had on Tuesday night. Tuesday we had to go and print more flyers and we went to this 3-D print shop cause it was the only thing we could find and he let us use his printer and then turns out that he was an official Dude there is apparently a religion called Dudeism and he was a dudeist priest. Then that night during the concert I was out on usher duty for the last half and I was able to talk with the security guard about what we believe and gave him a Book of Mormon and he said that he would read it in a month and we told him we would be back to follow up it was really cool!

Wednesday, I kinda forgot what happened this day to be honest whoops.

Thursday, we had a great day we were able to meet a contact from the friendship center named Maesum he is a really good kid and started asking us about Jesus it was really cool and the gospel can help him so much, he comes from Iran and has lost his whole family and it is sad but it is so good just to know that the message that we have can change his life forever so we hope things continue to go well as we meet with him. And then to end it all off we had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner from at the office couples house it was really cool, and just made me think of how grateful I am to be so blessed in my life with so many things and most of all for my family and the opportunity that I have to serve the lord!

On Friday we had an exchange and I was with Elder Ala-Jaaski it was a good day we went to the soup kitchen and cleaned dishes all day and then at night we went and did a whiteboard and all the sudden the whether decided to take a turn to the cold side and I turned into a Popsicle and one guy even tried to sell me his coat it was pretty funny.

Saturday, in the morning we had a youth activity which went really well and then we had a whiteboard in the evening which was pretty good until this guy came and just started dancing right next to us then we had to move but it was a fun night.

Sunday, we went to branch council before the meetings and got to discuss missionary work in Athens and then we had a great day at church and had a great lesson with the youth about Helaman 5:12 and building our foundation upon Jesus Christ cause he will never fail us. Then we had a baptism and Nikolas was baptized! It was very cool because me and Elder Balser found him together and it was cool to see him be baptized. Then we had dinner at the Hom's then a music whiteboard in the evening and just had a great way to cap off the week!

Then today we went on a "zone" activity (Thess was missing) but we went to the Temple of Poseidon it was really cool and pretty windy but it was cool and we got to see a lot of cool beach which was cool.
