Cool Week

Monday, August 19, 2019

Hey, guys! We had a good week this week.

TUESDAY, August 13th: We had district council about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We had a whiteboard with the sisters in Peristeri. I had received a prompting a day or two before to place a new Restoration pamphlet in Greek in my backpack. I was able to talk with a guy for a bit and teach the Restoration. It was sick.

WEDNESDAY, August 14th: We helped a less-active member and saw S. at work. He's ballin’ but exhausted. He's worked two weeks without a day off. He works 12-hour shifts, and it takes over an hour to go to and from work. We did a whiteboard in Syntagma. I spoke with the most genuine and kind Jehovah's Witness I've ever met. He accepted a Book of Mormonand a Plan of Salvation pamphlet.

THURSDAY, August 15th: We had an awesome and spirit-filled lesson with A. The Campbells helped us out there--shout out to them! We went to Family Home Evening, and our friend who was supposed to come spent an hour and a half on the bus and metro trying to get there and arrived right as we left on the metro. :(

FRIDAY, August 16th: We had lunch with S. and the sisters. S.'s friend was supposed to come but got there an hour and a half late. So, we were long gone. We went to the mall and had a lesson with two people from a whiteboard. We met with R. and had a good lesson. We invited him to be baptized, and he said that he needs to have a testimony of Joseph Smith first. So, he's right on track with his understanding. We also received transfer calls, and Elder F. is heading to Larnaca, and Elder J. and I will be staying here. Oh, we had a whiteboard in Kifissia with the boys, and Elder Z. and I spoke with a friend I made a couple weeks ago. We talked for an hour about church and religion. It was good, but she kind of thinks we are whack now because we explained the Book of Mormon in a very rushed situation. And if the Spirit is not present while explaining the book, it's detrimental because it is a pretty crazy story to believe if the Spirit does not testify to your heart that it is true.

SATURDAY, August 17th: We saw S. at his work. We met with A., friend from the Wednesday whiteboard. We saw K., and he gave me records to take home as a going away present. He also gave us a projector and DVD player. 

SUNDAY, August 18th: M., one of the people we met with at the mall, came to both the Greek group in the center and to the English branch in Halandri. She absolutely loved it and took her Book of Mormon home to show her grandma. We weren't too sure how well that would go over, and it didn't seem to go well seeing as her grandmother yelled at her when she saw the book... We had a meal appointment for Elder F. to say goodbye to our Congolese members, and that was the day.

MONDAY, August 19th: We are trying to get the projector to work, and all we need now is a DVD remote...

Love you, guys! The church is true; the book is blue.
