Halkida

Hey, guys! This week has flown by. Today, we went on an excursion with a group of missionaries, so I am writing this on my phone! We also will not be back in time for me to send any pictures, sorry!

TUESDAY, July 23rd: Instead of District Council, we went to go do service cleaning up the old Olympic Basketball Stadium. It is being used right now to store clothing and food for the refugees. We got flaked on by D. We met with G. and T. with the sisters, and it was chill.

WEDNESDAY, July 24th: We had a ballin’ district council. We did language study with Elder Z. and Elder H. at McDonald's and saw K. He gave Elder J. a bunch of hair stuff, lol. It was Elder J.'s birthday as well. We had an awesome whiteboard with good conversations. 

THURSDAY, July 25th: It was a really long and pretty terrible day, to be honest. We got flaked on a lot, and nothing went according to plan.

FRIDAY, July 26th: We had service in the morning, and the whole day was full of bizarre experiences. It truly was one of those “only on a mission” days. It included finding the best less-active member with an actual real desire to return to activity and a lesson with the sisters at a shack with some guys, one of which is married to a member, apparently, and was wasted completely. We met with a lad whose life is getting screwed up, but he's a legend.

SATURDAY, July 27th: We met with a Christian guy who started teaching us a lesson, lol, with the same teaching methods we use. It was pretty funny. We met another friend with the sisters. We did a whiteboard in Kifissia with Elder Z. and Elder H. and had Ancho's  (Mexican) for dinner. The whiteboard was one of the best I've had in months

SUNDAY, July 28th: It was a normal Sunday with a BBQ at H.'s house afterwards and a rough whiteboard in Syntagma.

MONDAY, July 29th: We took the train up to Halkida. It is an island that is connected to the peninsula by bridges. We spent the afternoon there and saw a castle. 

Love you guys, 

Elder Müller
