Sunday in Glyfada

Yesterday we had a relaxed morning, mostly uploading pictures and catching up on facebook. We attended the evening service at the Glyfada Church of Christ because their morning one is in all Greek. However, Nic and I plan to go one Sunday to the morning service to meet more people and experience it in all Greek. Yesterday we left at 3pm but our bus driver drove to the old congregation HUG students used to attend in Ammonia, which is in downtown Athens. So we had to turn around to get back to Glyfada. We got there early to spend time walking around the town and exploring but most shops were closed. I really enjoyed worshiping with that congregation! They had about 15 people there, which included a few visitors. They currently rent a room in a hotel but are hoping to get a bigger location so they have room for bible classes and such. Almost got to hold a baby but the lady forget I wanted to till we had to leave so she said next time - pretty stoked about that. I met a man named George who's from Syria and is trying to get papers signed so he can  go study bible at Harding. I really hope he gets it! We also met a man who is learning to speak his 9th language! Deano (sp?) is the minister there and is super friendly! When we got back to the Artemis we had our first take-out pizza from Porto Rafti - pretty much amazing! Then I got to skype everyone back home last night so I wasn't very social. Nic and I decided we need to spend more time with the group at night and make an effort with that. Sometimes I'm just too tired though! Overall really good day. I loved the sermon Matt (Deano's son-in-law) gave. They had it translated in Greek which got me and Nic thinking how cool it is to hear the bible in the language it was written. I bet the Greeks understand a lot more about what words in the bible are meaning since they know the roots. Pretty cool! Can't wait to be back next Sunday.
