Ya sas...

I have had a busy couple of days so I'm excited that I can get on here and update you guys! I started my class on Genesis, which is an awesome class! We have the class for two weeks and then we're done and then we move onto another class. It has been amazing to see the Lord's hand in our lives from the beginning...How he created us, His original plan for us, and how He still loves us even though we deliberately made the choice to disobey Him...Our God is so great and when we look around us, we can see His creativity everywhere. "For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse" (Romans 1:20). I also got to do some ministry! On Monday night, I worked with HM Love Meals. Homeless Greek people and refugees come to this building to get fed by this organization. It can be intimidating to some people especially women to help out there because most of the men are Muslim so it is very shocking to see women like me without a headscarf on so they will say a lot of comments and stare a lot. I really enojyed it though! There are also these bay windows in the room where we feed these men and when you look out them you can see the Acropolis all lit up on the hill...It's beautiful...I'll take some pictures of it next week! Last night, I went to another organization that helps out with refugees. I got to play with the children while some of the other people shared the Gospel with them. It was very difficult to talk with the children because not only do they not speak Greek, they speak usually Arabic or Farsi which I definitely do not know! But their smiles were enough to warm anyone's heart especially when we got to feed them and their parents! A prayer request I would have right now is that the Lord would just make it clear of where I am suppossed to serve and help out at. I want to do everything but I am going to have to make some decisions and invest my time into a couple of things! I am loving Greece though...just the slower paced culture, food, people...Everything is fantastic!
