ΚΑΛΟ ΠΑΣΧΑ

Γεια σας παιδιά!

Well we had a great week this week!

So last Tuesday we went to District Council and said goodbye to the Finlaysons and it was tough. Then after we had a meeting with some of the youth and then taught some two crazy Greek men who just wanted to tell us about the new chips and how they are the mark of the beast and it was really weird. 

Then on Wednesday we had a good day in the evening the Thorntons had us over to have a BBQ for Elder Balser's birthday it was good first steak that I had in a long time and it was really good.

Thursday and Friday have just kinda blurred together and so yeah I don't really remember what happened.

Saturday we had as youth activity and played some volleyball it was really good we got the youth out and had a good time and then we went and got some Mexican food after. 

Saturday/Sunday we went to the Αγιο Φως (Holy Light) it is what the orthodox do to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and so we went at 11 to the service and they basically sit and scream in ancient greek and then the priest comes out with the holy light and everyone lights their candles and then goes crazy they set of fireworks and bombs in the square next to our house. But it was really fun.



Sunday was a great day we had 2 friends come to church but one came and started to make his own coffee in the kitchen then goes and sits in the foyer and lights up a cigarette😬 he didn't like it when we told him about the word of wisdom. Then after we got a random call from a former investigator and he reads the Book of Mormon everyday! And wants to be baptized so that is awesome we hope that all goes well with him his name is Vasilis. 

Then today was a good day with all the easter celebrations none of the stores were closed so we played some soccer in the park with the other missionaries and cleaned up our apartment it was a good day and super nice to have a clean apartment. 

I just want to tell you all how great a mission is things are going so different in Greece from the time that I started and it is so amazing to see the Lord's work progress so much in such a short period of time just want to make sure that it keeps rolling.

Σας αγαπάω,

Πρεσβύτερος Χάλβερσον
