Εβδομάδα 33: next stop... ATHENS!

Image
ATHENS HERE I COME!  My time is Cyprus is gonna have to take a lil detour since I'm only allowed to stay 90 days as an American. So my heart is being torn out a bit right now leaving all these strangers that have truly become my best friends... my family. I can't even express the love I have for this city and every person in it, they have my whole heart ♡ If it were up to me I'd happily finish my mission here! But the Lord has other plans ;) but I will forever be grateful for the time I have had to serve here in Larnaca and my fingers are extra extra crossed that I'll be transferred back soon! In a few hours I'll be flying over to Greece and my new area will be Άγιος Δημήτριος ( Ayios Dimitrios ), in Athens! I'm super excited and I'll actually get to speak Greek again! Which, is a actually a little scary since I've been outta it for 3 months haha... so wish me luck because I'm gonna need it!  onto this week... The Lord is blessing this l

Εβδομάδα 32: 🇦🇱🇨🇾🇬🇷 3 COUNTRIES 3 DAYS!

Γεια σου πάλι!  Alrighty so this can all basically be summed up in 3 points: •ALBANIA  •CYPRUS DISTRICT CONFERENCE •GREEK BOOK OF MORMON TRANSLATION! SO MUCH  TRAVELING ! Cyprus to Greece to Albania, back to Greece, and then home to Cyprus. It's been a random week and it feels like we didn't get too much accomplished since we were consumed by meetings on meetings on meetings. But, we gotta love it right?! Awesome investigator update: Llhyne and Helen will be getting  BAPTIZED  this Sunday! They are both so excited! ALSO Llhyne informed us that her family members are now being taught by Elders in the Philippines! Miracles!! ♡ TOP QUOTE  of the week: *Talking to Elder Free about if he's gonna be called as district leader again even tho he'll already be a zone leader next transfer* ...he leans over and whispers, "Do you know how easy it will be to find a girl at BYU if I told her I was zone leader AND district leader at the same time?!"

Εβδομάδα 31: mini TYPHOON, the LOVE rock, and lots of Filipinos!

Hey Everyone! :) It's been a wild past 7 days since we were hardly in our area at all. We were in Paphos and Limossal a bunch! We had a fun zone pday over in Paphos. On the way there we made a pitstop at  Aphrodites   Rock ! There's crazy myth that if you swim around it 3Xs with your lover, naked, then you'll be married forever. So wack, it's crazy some people would actually believe that but hey, it's pretty hilarious! We hiked through the Anakas Gorge which was really pretty before we went over see the Edro III shipwreck! Paphos is picture picture and a definite tourist hotspot. We also found orchards of banana trees! It's really cool to be in all these historical bible places and trace Paul steps! Sister Kruger and I went on  exchanges  with the Limmosal sisters and I got to be with sister Edwards, my MTC companion! It was really fun to be able to actually speak Greek together and see how each of us has changed and become better missionaries since

Εβδομάδα 30: BAPTIZING SOULS AND BREAKING HEARTS

ALRIGHT HERE WE GO... HELLO EVERYBODY! Honestly ya'll are better off skipping to the pictures because words simply don't do justice for weeks like these. Other than  PERFECT!  plus our faces can just say it all!  If a spiritual hangover exists I'm definitely on one haha ;) SO MUCH LOVE...AND WHITE...IN ONE DAY. NO WORDS COULD ACCURATELY DESCRIBE IT. MY HEART IS FULL ❤ Its crazy to believe this is my mission. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this not all being a dream, because that's exactly what it feels like... So if you wish to read, here's my attempt to sum up and reflect the past 7 miracle filled days... TOP 3 1. DAVID  AND  FRANCIS WERE BAPTIZED! My heart is full. I've absolutely hit a new level of a spiritual high I would have ever imagined. David is incredibly strong spiritually as he has been able to discover his true potential as a son of God and as a disciple of Christ. His testimony and desire to share the gospel wi
