Hey, guys! It's been a good week overall but with some challenges along the way.

TUESDAY, March 26th: We had a great district council and had to do our weekly shopping because all of the stores were closed on Monday for Independence Day. While we were shopping, it was raining, but Elder C. is a lad and let me use his umbrella because I had some mint clothes on from my suitcase that was here in Athens for my whole mission lol. So, they had never been worn before, and I wanted to keep them really nice. We met with S. and walked for a while with him. He is doing amazing with quitting cigarettes and progressing well in his understanding of the gospel too. We met with a less-active member who always has some interesting stories, and our day ended.

WEDNESDAY, March 27th: We had to check out a bunch of addresses in our area for people who are on the branch membership list but are not active, and no one has any contact with them. No one answered, but we were able to talk to a few people and see a lady who kicked us out of her building two weeks ago, lol. We had an appointment with another less-active member, and that went well. We had a lesson with S. about the Plan of Salvation, and that went very well as always with him, haha. 

THURSDAY, March 28th: We had a miracle in the morning while we were waiting to withdraw money from an ATM. This lady turned and saw my badge and was just super open and asked to take our number and meet sometime to talk with her and her nephew who was with her as well. So, that was mint. We had a weekly planning session, which took forever, and an appointment with a friend for dinner. He brought his other friend and told us that he wants to be baptized but needs to take lessons, lol. 

FRIDAY, March 29th: At 2:30 in the morning, I woke up and proceeded to be very ill. Turns out, I got some food poisoning. So, I was taking it very slow for the rest of the day. We did have a lesson with A. though and prepared her for her baptismal interview. She is so sweet. We went to the church in the evening, and as we were heading there, we needed to switch metro lines. As our metro pulled into the station, I began to black out and was able to grab onto Elder C.'s shoulder and let myself down against the station wall and then black out for about one minute, lol. I woke up, and we walked in the frigid air for 15 minutes to the next metro stop so I could wake up more. Needless to say, I was very tired and just collapsed into bed later that night. Elder C. even tucked me in (such a doll he is <3). 

SATURDAY, March 30th: I slept from 10 pm on Friday till 10 am on Saturday and still was destroyed after such a long time. Elder C. made porridge to help me feel better and get some energy, and I just stayed in bed most of the day. We went to church though with A. for her baptismal interview, which she passed!!!! 

SUNDAY, March 31st: After two good days of rest, I was ready to go again, and we had a good branch conference, and I was even able to help at the end with translation. We had a great lesson with Sisters S. and C. with a friend they were handing off to us. He is from Nigeria, and it was good to feel right back at home in Nicosia for a minute. :) We had a good Whiteboard Activity, and that was it!
