Athens Zone Activity.

We got together on Boxing day to play Nerf games. It was good fun, lots of exercise and some strategic planning. We rescued the prince/princess and defused the explosive devise. Then we ran around the car park Nerf guns a blazin! Time for food and a movie. It was wonderful to spend time together this Christmas season. Hope to get more photos of this activity.

Merry Christmas!

Kala Xristouyenna!

Xronia Polla!

Thank you Sister Davis.

Sister Davis coordinated this wonderful feast for Christmas Day. Under her direction we served turkey, potatoes, stuffing, green beans, gravy and homemade rolls. There was a choice of many delicious cakes. All of the senior couples provided the food, and the younger missionaries brought a variety of juices and fizzy pop. This sweet service was given with such love and generosity.

Getting Food to the Tables.

Elder Smith is moving so fast he's almost a blur.

Pre-lunch Carol Concert.

They sang with the voices of many angels, a beautiful way to begin our Christmas meal.

Many Hands and Happy Hearts.

Everyone worked happily and willingly. The younger missionaries waited till everyone had been served, before sitting down to eat.

All of the missionaries were involved in setting up, and serving a meal, to all those who wished to join us on Christmas Day.

O Christmas Tree!

We had the piece of paper behind our backs and had to tear it into the shape of a christmas tree. Some of them are absolutely amazing!

Reindeer at Play!

We were sorted into teams and had to create a sturdy pair of antlers using tights and balloons. Very funny!

We Wish You A Merry Christmas...

The lovely lady in the top right hand picture was moved to tears as she listened to the carols. Many listened with smiles on their faces, one lady clapping in time, and others quietly reflective.

Words of Comfort and Good Cheer.

Many of the residents were so happy to meet such delightful young people.
