Εβδομάδα 63: techy stuff n such

-
*Whoops forgot to press send last week so ya get a double dose of Sister Gale this week!*
...

Never thought I'd come to the point of enjoying being an "inside missionary" but hey, miracles exist. And we're a TRIO now! Sister Mathis joined us and man, she is literally part 2 of me haha. Same birthday, personality, both AMERICANS, tennis players, and ya... basically the same person at this point, love her!

Someway and somehow we kept ourselves busy, with lots of techy, technical, technology stuff. Finished up the timelapse video I started last week and it turned out great! The scripture is Amos 3:7. Make sure to follow the prophet guys :))) Check out the vid HERE! 

Also tried to be creative and created another video with the goal of showing people we (missionaries) are just normal people with an extra special message! We've been encouraged to use our social media to the max and think of creative ideas to draw people to us. Not sure what we would do if we weren't a technology mission, that would actually suck. Love using social media as the tool God designed it for and hopefully we'll be able to reach more people.

So yup, here's another video that was made by yours truly! ;)

And just a lil thought I had this week. Time is weird because I think we actually can understand what it means, but only within itself, because if we were to go outside of time– for example to the next life– then it's completely invalid. Not because the next life rules under some different laws, but because this Earth is a pit stop on eternity. Nonexistent, just really almost about, when taken into account and consideration of eternity. But then for many reasons, it's just such a beautiful and defining impression that we are blessed to leave on our eternal existence; with only a speck to do it. Crazy. I hope you all enjoy letting your minds be blown as much as I do.

Love you all!

Love,
Sister Gale 

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...
