Week 20 A Day in Athens!

This week was packed with little fun adventures (as always)!
We saw Sofia this week!! She's doing better and loves the  messages we bring when we come. We really love her and want to share with her the Plan of Salvation and that she can see her husband again! We plan to have a lesson with her this coming week:) (So excited!!)
We also saw Maria this week with the little girls:) She's reading and really progressing! Its so fun being with her! 
So, this week I went to Athens for a day so that my companion could attend the leadership council. I went with the other sisters in Athens to go visit investigators. It was sooo much fun!! Especially since it was the sisters I was with in the MTC! 
The next day we had a lesson with Lois, she's from Nigeria. Super sweet! She loves the Book of Mormon, but wasn't really sure if Joseph Smith was a true prophet. But this past two weeks we decided to have a lesson about the temple. She loved the lesson and prayed about it with her husband and wants for it to be true! She never thought being with her husband in heaven was an option. So, hearing that was a little of a shock to her, but at the same time she really loved the idea so much! This time with her we looked at some scriptures together and helped her understand a bit better what we were talking about. And she felt good about it. She's going to pray about it again with her husband. But, right before we left we felt impressed to ask her about Joseph Smith and she bore testimony of him. And how no man could have written the Book of Mormon without the power of God. She believes he was called of God. And it was such a beautiful testimony! We later asked if she wanted to be baptized and she said yes. The room was filled with the spirit!!
We also saw Maya this week!!  We decided to go visit her with some cookies we made:)
She loved it! We prepared her for when we would have a lesson on the Plan of Salvation by giving her a pamplet and we told her about a member we will be bringing with us, who we know she will love:)
This sunday Sister Jansson and I sang a musical number together. We sang I know that my Redeemer lives. We sang it in Swedish, English, and Greek:)
It was so fun! A few of the members even sang along with us..hahah

Love you all!!
Let me know if there is something I can do:)
Love ya,
Sister Ramsay

p.s We will be having Transfers next week!
