I also love the members in Greece. It never ceases to amazing me how much they appreciate the gospel in their lives and how strong their testimonies are. They also have the best stories to share. For example, when we were talking about faith and the consequences of misunderstanding the principle, this guy from Sierra Leone told us about a man who walked into a cage of lions because he had faith God wouldn't let him die. And then he was torn apart. You just don't get stories like that in America. I also made a friend who quizzed me about history and told me he knew something about Idaho. When I asked him if it was potatoes, he looked really confused and then asked me if I knew Hannah Montana. Don't really understand the connection, but oh well. He was really friendly and even planned out the rest of my life for me (he told me I was going to have a lot of babies...haha). Another adorable middle-aged woman told me I reminded her of/could be an actress. It was so sweet :)
After church, I walked around the city a little bit and then a group of us went to get dinner where I enjoyed a lamb kebab (thanks for the recommendation, Jenny!), frozen Greek yogurt topped with mangos and strawberries, and later some loukoumi (similar to Turkish delight). It was a great day. Good thing I'm walking around a lot tomorrow, though, because I love this food too much :)
I forgot to mention yesterday that we went to the place where Paul delivered his sermon on the unknown God (located on Mars Hill on the Areopagus). I really enjoyed the view, even though it was super slippery from so many people wanting to walk where Paul walked. It was a pretty neat experience :)
Another great day in Greece has quickly passed, but not without great memories. Yassou!
Wow! Mars Hill. That is so cool. Historical biblical sites are so fascinating :)
