And it came to pass...

Hey Friends
This week in Paleo Faliro (Old bay, south part of Athens) was really great. We talked to a lot of people. We met also a lot of different people and we had good conversations. One of them was with a man from Canada who has a hard time believing in religions because of the human nature. It is true that it is hard to believe in a world full of wars, disease and sufferings but these things happen because of the choice of men. I know that each of us has enough knowledge to choose to be a good person. I also know that God will protect us if we follow His commandments.
I love how Greek people love missionaries. They don't know who we are, what we do but they can see in our attitude and dess and grooming that we are helping Greece to be a better world. It's too bad that Greek tradition and the Greek Orthodox Church are so bound to each other, otherwise a lot of people would feel the need to listen to our message instead of claiming that they are Christian Orthodox.
This week was also great because I really felt a lot of support from Heavenly Father and my family. Even members of our little branch were really supportive. We have a member, Dimitris that always start Priesthood meetings by asking when are our teaching appointments during the week so that he could plan to come. He served an English-speaking mission in Colorado and decided to learn Spanish during his mission to be able to talk to more people. After his mission he decided to learn Sign Language to be able to help our Sign Language speaking members in our Branch. He also knows a little French! He is a really helpful member!
Thanks for your prayers and your letters!
