January 22, 2018



Hello everybody,

This week it went from perfect weather to bitter cold and rain. Don't worry, Mother, yes, I am warm enough, and no, I haven't melted from the rain.

This week went by quickly, and we were pretty busy for the most part. On Tuesday, we had a late District Meeting because our District leader got "Cypriot Bus Syndrome," or in other words, the bus decided to just not show up at the bus stop they were at. So, they got there an hour late. We had a good district meeting, and I think we are becoming more unified as we get to know each other more. We also got to have a short meet up with A., our friend from Syria. Unfortunately, he isn't really interested in the Gospel.

Wednesday, we spent all day with G.; he is a former investigator who only believes in the Bible and knows a ton about it, lol. We had the pleasure of pulling out soggy, wet leaves from gravel. It was actually not that bad, haha, and we had a great lunch of baked potatoes the size of a squash with beans, corn, tuna, and cheese. It was sooo good. We had a lot of Bible discussions with him, and I learned stuff from him. And, he learned that miracles don't cause faith and must be preceded by faith instead. 

Thursday, we had a great weekly planning session and were inside for most of the day because it was pouring outside. We went out to try to find some former investigators, but they had moved. Cyprus is creepy as all get out at night, by the way. The street where they were supposed to live was all black, with cats jumping out of dumpsters and scurrying through the shadows. Old fashioned shutters were smacking against the side of the building, and there was one source of light on the whole street, haha.

Friday, we had service and had the best gyros to date. We also had English class with E. for the first time in a month. She is still as awesome as ever. 

Saturday was a very busy day, haha. We had all of our studies in the morning and then went to go Football Finding. Three weeks in a row now it has flopped, so I don't think we will be doing it again anytime soon. So. the Samsons gave us a ride home, and we showered and got ready for our appointment with M. It went really well, and she agreed to start taking lessons again. So, we are very excited about that.

Sunday, we had R. in church again and tried to have a lesson with her in Hindi (skype with Hindi sisters that are serving in England), but she couldn't make it. Otherwise, it was a normal Sabbath with church (I gave a talk...shhhhh, don't tell Mother, or she'll ask me to tell her what I spoke about) and lunch with the Samsons. Honestly, no offense to anybody, but I am pretty sure that Sister Samson was the executive chef in the pre-earth life. Like, I never want to leave Paphos simply because I don't think anything could ever compare to her cooking. 

Today should be movies in Greek and possibly a haircut for Elder J. Tonight, we find out who our new mission president will be in July. :( 

Well, Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease, as my friend Robert used to say.
