Hello! 

Wednesday, November 22nd

It was a rough day. Our lesson with a new investigator went terribly. I had to play piano for choir and could not play to save my life. 

Thursday, November 23rd

We were introduced to the Light the World initiative, which is amazing. Everybody go watch the video on Mormon.org! (Learn more about Light the World here.) Thanksgiving was weird here. But, we went to the temple and had an amazing time there. We had free time for the rest of the evening, so we practiced grammar as a district.

Friday, November 24th

We decorated the MTC for Christmas while everyone else was on a church tour! We set up nativities and decorated the Christmas tree in the lobby. There was music blasting over the loud speakers, and it was just our little Ether District family. Everyone was missing home and thinking of their own families and decorating for Christmas. It was good that we were all together and able to support each other.

Elder Z. had an interesting “discussion” at breakfast with Elder G., and then a bunch of others joined in. They were talking about “true conversion” and what it is. They were fine and were just talking, but then other people joined in, and it got heated. It was actually funny because Elder G. and Elder Z. weren't mad at each other at all. We played ping pong yet again for sport. I'm getting better, lol. We taught A., and it went really well. The Greek was flowing nicely. 

Sunday, November 26th

I was able to play piano for an hour while Elder R. was studying (Elder Z. and P. went to sleep), and it was lovely. Sister S. spoke in sacrament and blew our minds with her fluency in Greek. Elder N. slayed as well, and Elder R. killed it as usual.

Monday, November 27th

We went proselyting in Manchester for our last time. Nobody wanted to talk, so we handed out a ton of Light the World cards and calendars. Elder Z. managed to find the one guy in Manchester who wanted to Bible bash so that was fun. They were going at it for like fifteen minutes outside a market stall. I had a good discussion with the crowd control officer who came to observe and tell us that we had to leave within the next five minutes. The sister missionaries walked by and managed to help me pull Elder Z. away, lol. We were walking from there to the Greek coffee place when we stopped to give a man a card. His name was M., and he is from Australia. He looks like the Riddler from Gotham! He took a card and said his family are members. It was great to have someone be a ray of sunshine on a very rainy day. Once we got to the coffee shop, Θαλασεις was just getting on break, and the shop was empty. Elder Z. and Sister S. did most of the teaching. We showed him the Light the World video, and he loved it. Sister S. shared Moroni 10: 4-5 with him, and he read it aloud. When he was done, he said "πολή ωραία," which means “very wonderful.” It was really cool. Sister S. and I bore our testimonies in Greek. It was a great experience.

So, that's my week!
