It has been a really good week with a lot of activity and crazy stuff going on. Elder Greciano and I spend out last few days together until Thursday. We went back to Limassol on the bus a few times for meetings and teaching appointments. It was quite hectic and it messed up our schedule a lot. But it was worth it. Michael our investigator there was doing very well the last time we saw him.
Thursday evening, I left Elder Greciano with another Elder going home to go to Nicosia for the weekend before transfers this Monday. Elder Nicolls (England) and had a very nice few days there. We helped move an apartment from Nicosia to Limassol on Friday and then on Saturday we helped the branch president of Nicosia move a lot of his stuff across town to his new apartment. We felt like a moving company by the end of those two days. It was very refreshing to do some manual labor for a change and it was great to serve the people.
Sunday was a very nice day. We went to church in Nicosia, of course. It was my first time in that branch and they are very lovely. As Elder Nicolls always was saying: "They have character xD". We enjoyed the service and we were invited for lunch. But after that we just had a whole bunch of lessons in the church following each other. The cool thing was that most of them weren't planned and they just kinda popped up, just as we thought we didn't' have anything to do for the next hour someone would show up and we would have a lesson. It was quite miraculous. It was probably one of my best Sundays. xD I loved it!!!
Now, I'm in Athens and I'm here to stay for at least 14 weeks. I'm going to serve in Sepolia, Athens, which is in the north. I'm still going to the Acropoli branch to church. The one I was going to last time. I'll be training Elder Uhlig who is coming from the MTC tomorrow. He's from Germany and I'm told he's a very kind person. That is all I know. I'll have to update you on everything next time. I also don't know the area I'm going to. I've never been anywhere near there xD As I served in the south of Athens last time I was here.
