Zone Conference




























Week 81

How is everyone doing?
This week we got to visit Fatemeh and she was really happy to see us! We invited her to all the activities and she came! We also were invited to lunch at Panagiotis' house and that was really nice! On Thursday we went to Limassol with President and the Assistants. We had our interviews up there! And then we got to be with the other Limassol sisters and Sister Heder. We did finding together with the Poster of Jesus Christ. And we had dinner together and a mini Sister's Conference. It was really nice! We also met a man from Greece and got to share with him the Book of Mormon and it was really cool experience being able to share our testimonies all together as sisters with him. On Friday we had Zone conference. And that was amazing!! It was one of the most spiritual conferences I have ever been to. Everyone felt the spirit soo strongly. Many tears. It was beautiful. We also had the final testimonies of those leaving. So, I got to bear my testimony and two of senior couples. It was really a touching moment. After the Conference we went to see Rumi and she made us dinner and we shared a spiritual thought and it was really wonderful. She started sharing some really touching stories about how God has blessed her in her life. The spirit was there!
On Saturday it was the Greece and Cyprus Independence Day. So, we had a BBQ (Souflaki--chicken kebabs) with the whole branch. It was really fun!! Anastasia and Maria came!! It was soo nice seeing them there and getting to know the other members!
We also had a lesson that day with a man named Michael in our old building. We had the lesson with Rosie and it was really fascinating getting to know him and his story. He is Cypriot, but lived in Norway and Australia. So, he has a Australian accent in English. Its fun!
We also had family history class and that was a great turn out! Arxileas loved it again! And Laoura did it with us too! That was cool! We invited her to family home evening tonight with her family!!
On Sunday I gave a talk. We went with Marcel and Panagiotis and Georgia to the beach to do beach contacting. There were many people there! It was a great day!
We also got to see Joan on Sunday. She was really happy to see us again. She had just came back from Thailand. We got to talk to her about the Savior. It was really great seeing her again!
We had a great week! I hope you all are doing fabulous!!
Love ya,
Sister Ramsay
