I went on exchanges for the first time with my district leader since coming here.. We helped these guys lift this freakin' huge cooler into their apartment. We visited a recent convert who is from Egypt and then went to his Greek cafe the next day for lunch. I had a traditional gyro for the first time. They are really yummy!!
Alright...I hope you have some Kleenex's because this next story is a tear jerker.
It was a cold Friday at dusk but we decided to bike to the house of this old man named Clifford before dinner. We had talked to him a few weeks ago and left him a Book of Mormon and pamphlet to read. We got there and were super happy because he was home (& awake) and let us in! We sat down and he found his book. He handed it to us, saying he'd read some, and ended up being 41 chapters in!! We were a little stunned but the excitement was building.
....and then he said he was never going to change, gave us the book back and kindly escorted us out of his house...hahahaha it was so sad it was funny. The End.
On Sunday our favorite friend Justina came to church accompanied by her little baby Jaylin as usual. Though a new guest had appeared. Ryan!! Aw yeah. We've been teaching him since day 1 with her but he's always denied an invitation to come to church. Justina whispered she had to whip him into shape and got him there. Then she made him stay for the whole 3 hours. Hahaha the first (and perhaps only) time a girl's stubbornness was helpful.
We got to watch the Christmas Devotional with a family (from Layton(; ) too and it was great! Make sure you're keeping up with #LightTheWorld 🌲
