President Burdon fishing
Our missionaries from Cyprus and Thessaloniki flew to Athens to attend the Greece Conference. We have Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Greece and Cyprus in our mission. Our mission leaders and missionaries do a lot of flying. A lot! It was a great day of instruction, inspiration and reminders of safe driving.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is not a holiday in Greece and so it was business as usual except that we gathered that evening to eat turkey, courtesy of our branch president's family! Each missionary brought something to add to the feast. We were impressed with homemade rolls, cinnamon rolls and pie. We also had sweet potatoes, pasta and green salad, hard boiled eggs, veggies with dip, and mashed potatoes. We talked about what we were thankful for and challenges that had blessed us. The missionaries did a service project earlier in the day and cleaned up a children's corner complete with a Christmas tree.
Then it was Mission Conference with Elder and Sister Alliaud. It was inspiring. The senior missionaries were in charge of snacks. It was a nice way to serve the younger missionaries.
We have been so blessed to serve with these wonderful missionaries. They are amazing. They are fearless. They know so many languages and are from all over the world. They are creative with ways to engage others in conversation and watch over our branch members that are spread over many distances. They share strong testimony of Christ. It is such a blessing to know and love them!
