Wow!

Watching the rainwater race down the street.

Stormy Night.

Time for Refreshments!

After council meeting we had some refreshments. It is wonderful to have so many willing helpers. It is true what they say, many hands do make light work. Our hearts are always happy when we are able to mingle with such beloved souls.

Mission Council in Athens.

We had a great meeting with the leaders in Athens. So many ideas and valuable counsel to move the work forward. Who do you think those slippered feet belong to? The rain fell from the heavens and cascaded down the street outside the mission home. Hence the change of footwear. Thank you Elders Stelter and Nicholls for helping in the kitchen.

Holy Temples, Hallowed Walls.

Julianna from the Halandri Branch in Athens was able to attend the Frankfurt Temple in January. She is seen here with Elder And Sister Dracocardos. They had until very recently, served in the Greece Athens Mission and had returned home to England. It was a joyful reunion for them, made all the sweeter by being together in the House of the Lord.

Mama and Papa Antonopoulos,

President Charles was able to meet up with the parents of Elder Antonopoulos who serves here in the Greece Athens Mission. He was in Vienna for a Priesthood Leadership Meeting. Elder Wondra who is their home teacher arranged this beautiful surprise. On returning home President Charles told me about this lovely opportunity, and remarked that Elder Antonopoulos had 'angel' parents.

Greek Language Class.

Elders Antonopoulos and Held are very patient with us as they teach us more of the Greek language. Do you think Sister Maxwell looks as if she is saying, "Stop picking on me, ask my husband". We look forward to these lessons, and enjoy learning together.

History in the Making!

Sister Davis has prepared the history for the Greece Athens Mission 2011. Sister Davis is a joy to be around as she serves with such a cheerful heart. We all love her very much.

At The Mission Office.

It's Wednesday again when various meetings take place at the office. It was a cold and snowy day, and Elder and Sister Clark warmed us all with some delicious home-made soup .

My Sister In Athens.

Here is my sister Betty visiting from home. It was a sweet reunion as we haven't seen each other for over 2 and a half years.
