Hey,
guys! It was transfer week and zone conference.
TUESDAY, July 9th: Since we
transferred on Monday, we needed to go shopping and to visit K., a returning
member who loves me, lol. We had a nice visit with him and went to another
returning member to say hello. It was really good that we saw him because he is
struggling. We went to a new whiteboard spot, and while we were waiting for the
other elders to come, a homeless and drunk Witness decided to come and harass
us...The last straw was when he started grabbing me with alcohol-covered
fingers. The whiteboard spot didn't work out, so we ended up just going to
Syntagma.
WEDNESDAY, July 10th: It was zone
conference day. We got the Area Book Planner app, and thanks to the laws of the
EU, we need to send a privacy notice to any person that we write down something
about—no background information either for people. It felt like freedom was
being sucked out of my lungs and poison being siphoned into my veins. I saw
Elder J. before his flight home to Denmark and got to say goodbye so that was
cool. In the morning, we got to go to with the APs (Assistants to the Mission President), who slept at our place, to
Mars Hill to meet the new missionaries.

All those months ago when Elder Muller arrived in the mission field.
They served together in Paphos, Cyprus |
THURSDAY, July 11th: We had
interviews with President Anderson, and I finished up my part of the quarterly
report for the branch. We got a message from a 17-year-old kid from Uganda who
didn't know anyone, but his sister is a member of the church in Canada. He had
been sleeping on park benches for two nights, and so we went with him to try
and find a place that helps with housing. No luck, but later that night, we got
a message from him saying that some fellow Ugandans found him in the park and
offered him a place to stay for two weeks. Miracle! We visited a less-active
member, and that went well.
FRIDAY, July 12th: We helped at
the soup kitchen and had a lesson with R. about Patriarchal Blessings and temples.
We did a whiteboard in Peristeri with the sisters as well.
SATURDAY, July 13th: We met with
S. at his work, and they made him start early instead of eating with us, but
then, they let him have some break time, but we felt bad, lol. The chicken was
great though. We saw S. at night with his little boy S. and then did a
whiteboard.
SUNDAY, July 14th: Sister M. (nee
K.) showed up at church! It was weird because I was sitting at the sacrament
table when she and her husband walked in with some friends. I also was part of
a pretty rough musical number and gave a talk about the Iron Rod. We had a
whiteboard in the evening.

Yes!! That is Sister Kreiberg who served six months in our ward in Florida!
She is from Denmark. She is now married and expecting a baby!
She and her husband were visiting the Athens area.
So awesome that she got to surprise Elder Muller!! |

So yeah, I'm very glad
to be back in Kato Patisia to finish out my time and to be with Elder J. We are
going to have a busy transfer.
Love you guys,
Elder Müller
