Missionary Fireside at Acropoli
Elder Bavelas is giving Elder Erickson a statue of Leonidas with grateful thanks for his presentation. We enjoyed walking down memory lane as he shared experiences from his mission in England. We felt the Spirit as he shared with us a power point presentation on Teaching Spirit to Spirit. People may wonder why I keep referring to Neil as 'Elder', it is just that I feel such a sense of gratitude for the gift of the gospel that he so freely shared. He was Elder Erickson then and I feel that he will ever be so.
Eating Out.
We stopped off at Vitros to have a meal. Elder and Sister Bell introduced this restaurant to us and it brought back sweet memories of them. We wish them well now that they are safely home.
Lycabbettos Hill
We took Neil and Lori to St Georges Hill known locally as Lycabbettos. There is a marvellous view of Athens. I am really pleased with this shot. I think Elder Baker would be proud of me.

The Ericksons in Acropoli!
What a wonderful feeling it was to have Elder Neil Erickson and his lovely wife Lori come to visit. Elder Erickson along with his companion Elder Ron Woolstenhulme taught us the Gospel in 1975 in Maidstone, Kent and we were baptised. What a joy to have him here in the place where we are now serving.

Decisions, decisions!
Each decision was taken in faith and at times the excitement in the air was quite empowering.
Weekly Planning Session.
We met with Elders Woodger and Smith for a weekly planning session at their apartment. It was a great privilege to be with them and feel of their spirit.

Gigas Galore!
A Giga is a kebab as big as your head. These missionaries managed to eat two each of the gigantic monsters. This is not something you wish to witness as it will put you off ever eating a Giga for the rest of your life. I have to tell you that President Charles has managed to eat one, it was not a pretty sight! Elders Rodriguez and Smith are looking as if they may now be regretting their choice. Elder Steeby on the other hand seems very pleased with himself.

Theologos' Baptism
Theologos was baptised on the 19th. March 2011 by Elder Mossner. " Come follow me" the Saviour said. Theologos has heard the voice of the Good Shepherd and has followed Him into the waters of Baptism.

Still in Thess.
Elder and Sister Collier did a great job for their very first role play. Sister Collier is bearing testimony of the Book of Mormon.
Couples' Meeting in Cyprus
It was so good to meet together. These wonderful couples are a source of energy, wisdom and strength for the mission. How blessed we are.
