Hey Friends!
This week was crazy fantastic! I can't believe I have been in Greece for already one week! It's a beautiful country. I am in Athens and I live close to the sea. It's great. My trainer is Elder Gifford from Texas.
I feel like all the things I learned at the MTC are gone. I cannot understand the Greeks and they cannot understand me!!! It's coming little by little and I am excited for that! Greek people are very curious and nice about the Church but they are not interested at all. Hopefully we are blessed with a couple people who listen to us and we are happy to teach them and see them progressing. We found a young Greek, Constantinos and we have a lot of hope for him.
We also met an old lady while we were door knocking. She just saw that we were wearing nametags with the name of Jesus Christ and she started to bless us with Orthodox prayers and she told us that we were angels. She then offered us watermelon (so good here in Greece). That was great, I'm sure this old lady will make it to the Celestial Kingdom, even if she doesn't get baptized!
We also had a lot of forest fires just outside the city. It's adding smoke to the very polluted city of Athens. This city is huge but where we live it's pretty quiet, espacially in the early morning...
I love the work. It's hard, but was it easy for Jesus Christ and even Paul when he was in Greece? I know that what I am doing is true and important. I love being a missionary!
Thanks for your love and your support. You can write me at the adress on the right or email me on eldergaillard@gmail.com
Take care
