ΠΟΠΚΟΡΝ

Γεια σας!!

Well what a week it has been so let's get to this.

Last Monday to end our day we went and helped Hedy move things from one house she has to the one she lives in and that was exciting playing some tetris to fit everything into the van was pretty fun. 

Tuesday we had a good day we had district council with the other district cause our district went to Thess to do exchanges so that was fun. Then we had a whiteboard in the evening.

Wednesday was yet another good day we taught English class and then had lessons for the rest of the day and it was just awesome to see how the Lord really prepares people and then there are some who just loose there was it is really interesting to see.

On Thursday we had a lesson in the morning and then we got to go and see Georgo! It was super awesome I haven't seen him since I have been back on Athens and so it was really good to see him. Then we had Family Home Evening movie night and we watched the restoration and finding faith in Christ and it went really well and we made some popcorn.

Friday we did some weekly planning and then had a lesson and did some finding in the evening which didn't go to well but oh well what can we do.

Saturday was a good day we went and cleaned the church and visited some less actives and had a lesson with one of the people I met over 3 months ago and we brought the sisters that could communicate with him in Norwegian which was super cool and he actually really wants to come to church now which was cool to see.

Sunday was a great day we had church in our group in the center and I was able to give a talk it went well I talked about d&c 6:36 and how we can have Christ more in our lives. Then we had a meal at Hedy's and then met up with some members and did a whiteboard which was good.

Well that was my week hope you all have a good one.

ΖΕΣΤΗ!!

Γεια σας!!

Well this week was super amazing!!

Last Tuesday we had our last district council with Elder Roffler and in the morning we went to Mars Hill for his final testimony and then went around saying goodbye to people for the rest if the day.

Wednesday we got up early and ran up the biggest hill in Athens for the sunrise that was really cool and then we taught some Greeks classes and then did a whiteboard right before we dropped off Elder Roffler then we dropped off Elder Roffler and went and did another whiteboard in the evening.

Thursday was great we were doing our weekly planning before going out for a day of appointments and we get a call that is just like hey someone is here from Bulgaria and wants to see the missionaries now so we jumped up and went and met with this lady which was a good meeting she is has been investigating the church for a while and just isn't sure if she wants to leave her old religion behind but we had a good meeting. Then we went and had lunch and a spiritual though from Micheal Schafer and then had a meeting with Panos a returning member and after we went to see a friend by the beach and on the way back I got us on the wrong bus which took us to an abandoned airport and so we ended up having to run back to our next appointment in really hot weather but it was fun but really sweaty. Then the day just gets better in the evening we had a concert that a member was performing at in a club Ha ha it was interesting but there was nobody there but us I guess we must have just gone to early but oh well.

Friday we had a good day we went to the soup kitchen and cleaned some dishes. And we got a call from and person that has cut contact with the missionaries for about 3 years and out of nowhere he called and said that he needed a blessing and so we met up and the blessing was so amazing and he just said he needs God help in his life again so that was awesome.

Saturday we had a church tour and it went pretty well we had a good turn out me and Elder Ioannou were in charge of the missionary station and we just got to teach the restoration to people as they came through it was really fun I liked it a lot. 

Sunday we had church in the center again and I love it we had a new record of returning members in church and we hope that the number keeps growing! Then in the evening we had a good whiteboard and we will be meeting up with some people this week hopefully!

Then today was good we went bowling with all of the missionaries and some members it was good I am still no good at bowling but we had a good time!

Well that is it for my week it is just so awesome to see God's hand in every week cause it is always there!
