Eβδομάδα 65: and then there were 2...

-
Anddd back down to 2 in our companionship, we dropped Sister Stillo off at the airport bright and early this morning since she decided to return home. So now it's just Mathis and me... the dangerous duo you could say ;) There's tennis courts right across the church and sometimes we'll literally just stand and watch people play out the windows. We're not crazy I promise... just miss our sport a LOT. We really need to figure out where we can get racquets and hit the courts. We grabbed some extra mattresses and every night we always go up to roof where the stargazing is just...amazing.

Every day basically feels like a pday in a way nowadays besides the calling home part. We're at the church with our district for the majority of our time making more FB ads, music videos, other content, or talking with some of our online contacts and its just super fun! (And this is expected to last till June 1st since that's hopefully when we'll be done with missionary quarantine). Being quarantined solo would be absolutely miserable but with 5 other elders and sister Mathis it's a heck of a good time!

We made a FB ad this week about God's love for us and it's gotten 30K views and counting! That got us a lot of responses that have led to some great conversations! We've also got memes being made outta us and calling us pokemon lol. That's social media for ya!

Everybody's loving the online church meeting we put together too, including some less actives who haven't attended church in forever! Our area presidency even recognized our efforts and our mission President wants us to continue doing them αfter we are able to have church gatherings again. You can say our video making skills are improving... σιγά σιγά ;)

Don't forget the Lord loves you because He knows you, and there's signs of it everywhere you look.
Be grateful, be happy!

Love,
Sister Gale
ps. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MY PRETTY MAMA I LOVE YOU! 🌻💕

PICS!

WHY A MISSION?

Having the opportunity to serve a mission has always been in the back of my mind throughout my entire life. However, the decision to actually serve was not the quickest decision I’ve ever made. I have always had the desire to serve, but I wanted to be sure that this was part of Heavenly Father’s plan for me. This past summer I was thinking about a mission a lot, more so than I ever had before. But, I still didn't feel like I had received a clear answer on whether or not I should. There had been a day when I had just finished reading my patriarchal blessing and felt I needed to continue reading where I had just left off in my scripture study that same morning. I was in Alma 13 and had come across versus 3 and 4,  “And this is the manner after which they were ordained--being called and prepared from the foundation of the world according to the foreknowledge of God”. Following reading this, another scripture popped into my mind, 3 Nephi 22:13,  “And all thy children sha...

(Kaylee's first letter home!!) HEYYY!!  I'm here!  I love it, it's so awesome! Everyone is so nice and we are all already such good friends! Well at least the 1st group of us haha. There's another group coming at 2 and then at 3! I haven't met my companion yet tho. When we got here there were ZERO missionaries! There will only be 55 of us here soon and then it'll start getting smaller as everyone starts leaving... and then it'll just be the 5 Greek missionaries left! YUPPP just 5 of us! 3 elders and 2 sisters! I met elder Hawkins when we were about to board the flight to Manchester. He's Greek speaking too! So we stuck together. They had to check our passports and that was kinda complicated... I didn't have a letter from the church but luckily he did so we just told the people we were together and they didn't ask too many more questions. and then we got our luggage and sat down to wait. So we just chilled and talked for a probably around 30 o...

Εβδομάδα 23: "Sister Gale it's Alcohol!"... WHOOPS!

Quite an eventful week over here! Officially drove on the opposite side of the road and didn't die!! SO that's a miracle in itself! 90% of the time we still ride our bikes/walk but when we visit investigators in villages farther out we get to use the new car! English mode is officially switched ON, Greek mode just kinda flickers here and there but I think all but one mini lesson was in English. We also haven't really had time for language study, since lessons actually fell through this week, so SYL (speak your language) between Sister Kruger and I has been huge because when we are eventually transferred back to Greece we'll need to be speaking Greek again!  We had a pretty noteworthy and definitely memorable experience while finding haha. So we were walking by some homes and stopped to talk to this little old Greek lady who was mopping her patio to ask if she needed any help. She didn't want our help but invited us inside the gated patio and had her Indi...
