Leonidas Lunch for Sister Lelle.

 

The time has come to say goodbye to our lovely Sister Lelle. It was wonderful to have Elder Fingerle of the Area 70 join with us. This in fact happened last Friday but we delayed blogging as she wanted to surprise some family members at a thanksgiving gathering.

Testimonies on the Hill.

 

While we read and bore testimonies to one another a flock of birds flew overhead and swirled about the sky. As my eyes and heart turned heavenward I was filled with a gladness and a hope of great things yet to be. Not to be forgotten, our trip to Souvlaki Kiffisia for some Greek food.

Thessaloniki 13th November 2010

 

Met with the Thessalonians for interviews and some specialist training. What a band of missionaries. To be in their presence was a joy and a comfort. They exude a confidence in the Lord and His work that is beautiful to behold. How did Elder and Sister Shute escape the blog camera?? Will get them next time!

Mars Hill 3rd November 2010.

 

A sweet and peaceful feeling was felt today on Mars Hill. You can see that we read Acts 17 in Greek. We are always so impressed with those who read and how good their accents are. As we made our way down some contacting was done and pass along cards were handed out.
