Week 24 Why not play some Basketball?

This week we actually had the opportunity to play some basketball with a less-active!! It was soo fun! He told us to meet him in city and he brought his friend, Lydia. Let me tell you a little about this less-active. He is soooo cool! So, he's name is George and he is half Greek and half American. He was raised in Florida and became a member there. He also is a Ninja. haha. Seriously. He is a Ninja. He has a black belt and all. And sometime later he left and moved to Jerusalem and became a priest for the orthodox church there. And then he moved to Greece...continued to be a priest and a Ninja teacher. Now he is back to being mormon. haha. He speaks english with us and really is so cool. He met us in the city and told us we were taking a bus to where we would be playing basketball. We were with the elders too. Since they are helping George and we've got Lydia. Lydia is such a sweet lady! She is still studying here. She studies music. So, on the bus we (missionaries) realized we were actually going up a mountain and that he wanted to play at the top...
It was so beautiful! We played a fun game and then we left to bring the Sister Training leader, Sister Bakewell, that was with us to the airport. 
This week we also had 2 lessons with Milena. We asked her to be baptized and she said YES! So, right now we are working towards baptism. She is praying about the date we set. She really is an example to me! She wants to do everything she can to be ready for baptism. I love her dedication and faith! 
We also had a lesson this week with Maya! Oh Maya! She is progressing so much! She accepted the invitation to be baptized as well!!! She has a few more lessons than Milena, but they are both really close! Its so cute, because they both have become friends and like to know if they are both going to be baptized on the same day! hahah Maya also called me on saturday night to make sure she had the reading assignment for sunday. She wanted to be prepared for class:) I love Maya! 
We also were able to Skype the Romanian AP's about having lessons for our Romanian family:) 
They said yes, and we will be starting our first lesson tonight! We are very excited to be able to be apart of this! Maria and Adam are very excited to have these lessons!
I know this gospel blesses lives! I've seen it! I am so honored to be able to see it with these people! They are real examples to me! 

I love you all! Have a fantastic week!
