Lovely Greece


Hey Friends!
Another week in South Athens! This video was taken last week from the old port of Athens. I guess there were already boats coming here more than 2500 years ago! Athens is a lovely city in fall. It's not too hot but still enough to enjoy it and they are less tourists.
I felt my Heavenly Father love a lot this past week. It's crazy how much He is blessing us when we need him! It was a hard week but I felt discouraged He sent something to comfort me. I have been here for 5 weeks already but Greek is still very hard! But I love it! It's crazy how much we actually use Greek in English or French. For example, "monologue" is made of two Greek words, mono (one) and logue (voice). It is also a good language for gospel studies like the word metanoia (repentance) which is made of the words meta (change) and noia (mind). So repentance is a change of your mind, behavior,...
I love being a missionary in Greece. I know that even if it's hard, I was given the capacity to be a good missionary here, I kust need to use them!
Thanks for your love and prayers.
