Well this is my first official letter coming from Cyprus! Man it is crazy. I love it here. It is a lot warmer and the people are great!
Last Monday and Tuesday were my last days in Athens. We had to be in a lot to do some training for Elders Roffler and Forsey. We were also able to go out and say goodbye to some of our friend so it was good.
Wednesday we flew to Cyprus!! It was a long day but a good day.
Thursday was great we got to do weekly planning and I got a feel for the new area. Then we taught some lessons in the afternoon which was awesome! I got to meet one of our friends who's name is Cornell and his family it was a cool experience. They are from Romania but have been in Cyprus for 17 years. He speaks really good English and his wife and daughter speak really good Greek. So we had a fun lesson with them speaking about 3 languages at the same time!
Friday in the morning we headed to Larnaka to have our interviews with President. It was cool on the way there we were able to teach the Restoration to a lady on the bus. Then we came back and did some finding around the streets and taught a lesson it was really cool.
Saturday we had Zone Conference in Limassol! It was really great and we had a really good conference with some amazing trainings!! Also I got to see Elder Goodwin for probably the last time. So we had to take a picture for our last time together. I am gonna miss my tall friend.
(You can also see Elder Fasa with a good photo-bomb) It was really good to see a lot of my old comps at ZC. We had a good time.
Sunday was a great day I got to give a talk at Sacrament meeting. I talked about how the gospel doesn't just give us knowledge but He challenges us to become something more! It was cool the gospel is made to make us happy we just have to live it and let it change us! Then that night while we were doing finding I was able to start talking with a Filipino lady. I was teaching her the Restoration and later on her husband came over and started to join. We became good friends and will be going to teach them and their family sometimes this week. It was super awesome to see the hand of the Lord throughout the experience, cause I had no idea was I was saying but things were just coming out of my mouth it was cool.
Well that was my week I love you all tons and hope that you have a great week!
Με αγάπη,
Πρεσβύτερος Χάλβερσον
