Week 10

We had a Zone Conference this week in our mission. This was our first and we weren't completely sure about our role in this. President Charles invited us to ride with him and the AP missionaries to the conference, stay for the morning part, and then return to open the mission office in the afternoon. We were happy to ride with him there, because we are still learning our way around Greece. We had a lovely Zone Conference, and Linda even said the opening prayer in Greek! Then we made it home easily on the Metro.

We were able to get a lot of work done in the office while everyone else was still at the conference. Because the office is in the living area of our apartment, we were able to get started on making our dinner in the afternoon. When evening came, we had an opportunity to share our meal with the mission president and his wife who were busy preparing to travel the next morning. We felt blessed to be ready to serve in this way.

We love our apartment. It is clean and has a nice kitchen. It has many windows so we can enjoy the roses in bloom by the windows and a lovely yard (with a gardener!). It is in a safe neighborhood. We find that with our mission work, we have a lot more time to be together. This is another aspect of our mission that we love. It is nice to work together on the missionary work here in Greece. We feel blessed to be a part of this great work!
