NIcosia is awesome

Hey friends and family!
I had a wonderful week here in Nicosia. We have great investigators!
I received a letter full of messages from the Young Adult of my Stake. That was really cool. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers! It really helps us to know that as we work hard and try to loose ourselves in the work, we have friends back home that will be there in 20 months! Except for a couple of you who will be on their mission I hope!
This week was really stormy and we often were under the rain with our bikes. Sometimes we come back home all muddy but happy! We had a cool experience last night. We were trying to contact less-active members when it started to rain really hard. We were close from having to go back home for the night but we decided to visit this last member. We went to his apartment and met him and we discovered that he had no idea that he was a member and that he was baptized. We really felt that we had to leave the place (who was a shared apartment of Nepalese people). We managed to leave and as we were asking ourselves why we had to through storms and mud and strange people we met this student who wanted to know who we are and what we do. We got his number and we realized that he was the last name we needed to meet all our goals of the week, in these last few minutes of the day. We went home all wet but happy that we finished the week well. Sometimes you just have to do the work, even if it's hard, and then you see the blessings and the fruit in such a different way.
I love this work, I love the Gospel!
Thanks for your support!
Elder Clement Gaillard
