Christmas!!!

Hey everyone!

I hope all is well and that you all have a Merry Christmas! This will be my last email before Christmas cause as it is Christmas next Monday I will be skypeing instead of email so yeah.

Ok so on Tuesday we made some cookies and we put some stuff on them for Christmas. Then we took them around to our neighbors and friends and it went really well. We made friends with a new lady called Maria who wants to see us again sometime that was cool.

Then on Wednesday we did finding and had a lesson with our less-active friend Manolis. It went really well he is a really funny guy he is a Greek and just loves Jesus so he loves Christmas it was a good meeting. Also this day we got a call from an unknown number and we got a call from a former Investigator from about a year ago saying that he wanted to meet up that was really cool. In the evening we ran into this guy on the street and talked for like 30 minutes about Greece and why we are here and stuff and we are going to meet up with him sometime this week which is really cool.

Then on Thursday we had a lesson with Athanasios the former investigator that called us and it went well. He is an interesting guy and has a lot of questions so it was cool. He wants to be a member of the church but maybe not for the right reasons we got work ahead of us but definitely potential.

Then on Friday we did a little bit of Christmas caroling with some of the sisters and other Elders. It was an interesting experience but we did talk to a couple people. My companion loves singing so he loved it while I got to talk to some people. Then we went to the church that night and we practiced for a big Light the world devotional that we had on Saturday.

So Saturday we had the Light the World devotional and it was really cool and we all got to let off balloons we had about 100 or so people there which was really cool and a papa from the orthodox church came and we got a picture.
​So yeah saturday was pretty cool.

Then Sunday was a good day we went to church and just had a good day and we also had a lesson with Dharmen and it went really well and he said he is going to read and pray this week.

So yeah it was a really good week and we have a lot of potential for this next week it is awesome.

The message I would like to leave with you guys today is to remember the reason for the season Christmas is about Christ and how amazing he is for us and the best way we can do that is by spreading his love and his kindness to others.

Love,

Elder Halverson
