Athens/Thessaloniki Zone Conference
Elder and Sister Whidden also visited with us in Athens. So good to be together.
The Fairbanks and the Sorensens.
How blessed we are with all the senior couples in the Greece Athens Mission. One word of advice, never leave M&M's in the same room as Elder S, you have been warned!! I hasten to add I got all the packets back.
United in Faith and Brotherly Love.
Thanks to Elder Steeby for helping me to finally get these pictures of Rajesh to the blog.
Rajesh Bogati's Baptism
Elder Kroll and Krishna Poudel witnessed the baptism of Rajesh Bogati in Cyprus. Elder Cook had the opportunity to baptise this wonderful elect child of God. When Elder Cook sent these photographs through, he put at the bottom of the email that Elder King was responsible for finding our brother Rajesh. In the Greece Athens Mission we work as a team.
More from Cyprus.
Sister Frohlich got a surprise treat from home. Elder and Sister Whidden work in the same offices as her mother. Sister Frohlich senior took a marvellous opportunity to send a message of love to her dear daughter.

Sisters Sorensen and Kennedy.
This was taken just a few moments before the changing of the guard. I was so caught up in the process that I forgot to take any pictures.
A visit to the Parthenon.
We visited the Parthenon known for its Temple to Athena at the top of the Acropolis. Its construction began in 447 BC. upon the ruins of an earlier temple, which was destroyed by the Persians.
Happy Birthday !
Sisters Bell, Shute and Kennedy all celebrate birthdays within a few days of each other. The cake was baked by Sister Andros and was absolutely yummy.
We Love Mars Hill .
President Sorensen to President Charles. " What did you do to my brolly?? " President Charles to President Sorensen " Oops ! "

We took a trip to Meteora . Sister Bell, bottom left picture is at the Room of Skulls. These are the remains of monks who had lived in the monastery. It rained so heavily I don't have any other pictures to display. The other pictures are taken in Athens and on Mars Hill .

The train took us on a tour through the most important ancient sites and monuments of the Athens Centre. Some of those sites were Hadrian's Arch built in 131 AD. The Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Ancient Agora and of course Aeropagus ( Mars Hill) and the Parthenon.

After breakfast and before Orientation Meeting.
Still on the Hill.
Testimonies as the sun goes down.
Oh I wish you could all be with us at moments like these. The miracle of it all. They come with authority, they speak a new tongue, they desire to share with others the beauty of the Gospel. Such heavenly times never to be forgotten.
Still on the Hill.
Everyone gets the opportunity to read, then one by one the six new Elders stand and bear testimony. Love abounds at this time as we listen and follow with a resounding amen!
