November 21, 2017: The Blue Bible

The Blue Bible (The Bible of Greek)
HELLO!

So, this week has been busy. 

Wednesday, November 15th

NEW ARRIVALS. There was a much smaller group this time. The MTC feels empty. We got to go to the temple that night because the rest of the missionaries had a welcome devotional. The temple was amazing! Everyone in our district felt the Spirit a lot, and it was just awesome.

Thursday, November 16th

Elder Z. was super sick again and stayed in bed. I fell asleep during personal study and started drooling on my arm and on my scriptures (lol). THEY TOOK PICTURES OF ME INSTEAD OF WAKING ME UP! Now, there is a small line in the gold coloring on my scripture pages where my saliva was. IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING. Elder Z. didn't come down until dinner, so I got to teach Alex with Brother T. as my companion. It was super stressful to have Level 18 Greek Speak teachers and then just me in the room, just me over here stumbling over every word. S., the chef, came and sat with our district and gave us chocolate because the Americans don't appreciate real chocolate. 

Friday, November 17th

LUNCH WAS THE PEAK: chicken tenders and fries, the highest quality MTC food you will ever have. We also enjoyed listening to music together.

We learned command form in Greek. HAHAHAHA, I can order people around now. I didn't feel very confident, but whenever Brother P. checked my work, I got it right. So, we will see. I played piano for Physical Activity because I have two really hard choir pieces I have to practice. I also got a ton of music from one of the teachers here. IT IS AWESOME.









Sunday, November 19th

I played piano through breakfast. We did sacrament and then performed “Called to Serve” in Greek during sacrament, acapella. It was great. President Bunker's son, T., gave us the devotional. It was all about being a good companion. He and President are spitting images of each other. I recited the 42 doctrinal principles forwards and backwards during family home evening—now to learn them in Greek. Ether District demolished during our PMG/white handbook chase. We took home eight prizes. 

Monday, November 20th

We went proselyting in Manchester. Elder Z. was like a kid in a candy store. He was talking to everybody. We went to the Cypriate owned cafe the sister missionaries found last time we went. It was great. 

Now, the Blue Bible, the Bible of Greek, is included in the pictures attached. Please remember to zoom in on all of the pics I send. There are hidden gems in every single one. Now, you have to find them! 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Love you all.

Elder Müller's Greek Practice

Γεια σας!

Τι κάνετε?

Πως είναι οικογένια σου?

Hello!

How are you/what are you doing (depending on context)

How is your family?


If you want to sound those Greek words out:

Ya (sounds like a German yes.)

Tee kahn-eh-tay

pos eenay eek-oh-yen-ya (same 'ya' sound as before) sue
