| MTC Buddies Reunited at Midpoint Training |
Hello one and all!
It's been an
interesting week out here in the City of Retirees and Cigarette Butts.
We had our Midpoint
Training on Friday. So, that means we went to the bus station and had a three
hour bus ride to Larnaca (other side of the island) and then had two and a half
hours of training and meetings and then ran back to the bus to catch the 4
o’clock back to Paphos, which was another three hour trip.
We had the chance to
enjoy the rain of Cyprus. Two days in a row, we enjoyed biking in the lovely
cold and hard rain. I felt like a real missionary, haha. We had enjoyed a
branch game night, which was a good success. We had three friends come, and
they had a great time.
On Saturday, we
had a day of miracles! We were walking back to the church after walking up the
huge hill to a member's home, and we ran into three guys we had made friends
with a few weeks ago. We talked to them and gave their other friend a Book of
Mormon. I told them they better stop bailing out on football, haha. Oh, yeah.
We spoke Greek to them, and they replied in English. Thanks, MTC, for only
teaching me gospel related Greek words! But hey, it helped with that conversation.
After this nice little
exchange, we still headed to the church when then we saw our friend M.
unloading groceries from her car! So, we ran over and helped bring them into
the house. It really was a miracle, and we were able to set up an appointment
for Sunday evening, and she said she would bake for us! #YES
Then right after we
left her, we turned the corner and a guy's car had broken down on the side of
the road, half on and half off the sidewalk, so we started just pushing, lol.
We got him up onto the sidewalk so he wouldn't get hit by cars coming around the
corner.
Sunday was good.
Church was small, but R. came. We gave her a short lesson using Google
translate. By the way, “Hey, Google, update your Hindi section please!”
Yes, I know, Hillary.
My grammar is terrible in this email, but you can rest easy knowing I'm teaching
a bunch of Russians grammar that is most definitely correct. Hehe—not! (Hillary
is Elder Müller’s older sister, and she teaches grammar for a living, so she
has been sending him resources to help him teach English. Little does Elder Müller
know, but Hillary has already been lightly editing his emails for grammar
before posting them on the blog! 😊 ).
R. told us she doesn't
want to be baptized yet, but as she learns more, then she will be! So that is
cool. Sunday evening, we went with the Sampsons to M.'s. It was a
good lesson, I think. It could have gone better, but the Spirit was strong as
Elder J. and I testified that she can and will be with her husband again.
So yeah, the food here
is soooo good. The people are for the most part nice, and we are working hard.
Love you all and stay safe!
