We Rejoice in the Baptism of Ernest.

It was a joy to attend the Baptism of Ernest Gyarbeng on Saturday 18th February 2012 at the Halandri Chapel. Ernest was baptised by Elder Loynes and confirmed the following day by Elder Mower. Elder Woodger gave a wonderful talk, and speaking directly to Ernest, he said, " Ernest as you kneel in prayer, Heavenly Father will tell you what He feels about your decision today. He loves you"

Elder and Sister Willis from Albania.

Elder and Sister Willis are from England who are currently serving as the humanitarian couple in Albania. They are visiting Athens to help us find possible sources for charitable services.
It was wonderful to find out that they knew dear family and friends from back home. They send their love to Ray and Lesley Cave who are the parents of our darling son-in-law Stuart. They also remembered with fondness our friends Keith and Carol Brook. It was lovely to hear them reminisce.

Elders Gibbons and Wilderspin With Barry.

Elders Gibbons and Wilderspin gave a presentation on tracking people to the temple. Barry was an investigator who was taught, and then they were transferred. It came across that each soul is precious and must not be forgotten. They shared 1 Nephi 18:3 "And I, Nephi did go into the mount oft, and I did pray oft unto the Lord: Wherefore the Lord showed unto me great things"

Christ is the Author and Finisher of our Faith.

Elders Greciano and Yates taught us that as we recognise our weakness, we can in humility, with prayers and daily sacrifice, finish the course. We can do this through strength received from our Saviour.

Role Play

President Charles reminded us that as we go about sharing the gospel, we should remember that the Lord is with us every step of the way. This is His work, and we represent Him. He will stand with us in the face of opposition and will be our strength.

They're Mine!

Happy Birthday!

We sang to those who had birthdays in February and also from back in December. Apologies for the December ones, we had watched the 17 Miracles film for our Christmas party, it was so moving and heart wrenching that we all just tidied up and left the building.

Elders Baret and Demeyere.

I love the smiles on the faces of this companionship.

Dearest Sisters.

I love being with the sisters. I love to to hug them close as I would my own dear girls.
