I came back to Athens last Tuesday night from Larissa...I took the train back myself. That was an adventure in itself...got a couple marriage proposals, got to witness to this guy, became best friends with a 13 yr. old girl who tried to teach me more Greek, etc...It was fun though! You definitely meet interesting people on trains! That night, I went straight to my ministry with the refugee kids because I missed them so much! I can honestly say that I love those kids and I think Tuesdays might be my favorite day of the week because of them. I start crying when I even start to think about leaving them! The next few days, I got to spend at a beach house with my friend and his family! It was absolutely beautiful. It was a quick walk to the sea, which was surrounded by mountains. We went up to visit a nunnery one day...It was seriously the most peaceful and quiet place I had ever been to! Then the next day, we climbed up this one hill and when we got to the top, we could see everything....I screamed and jumped up and down that I felt like I was on the Mama Mia movie set. After climbing and hiking around for a bit, my friend and I jumped in the sea and swam for a while...Let's just say, it's warm out but the water felt like I had jumped into a tub full of ice cubes! Bbbuuuuurrrrr!!!! It was a fun couple of days though and now my spring break is over! :(
The nunnery!
I saw this on the side of the road...It was just this huge rock in the water!
Aaahhhhh...Dont hurt me! hahah...Funny thing is that the beaches in Greece are all rocky instead of sandy...
Frolicking and rolling down the hill...My friend made me take this picture...haha..but the scenery behind me is beautiful!
Here are the friends that I went with!
Gorgeous!

Looks like things are going pretty well for you. I'm still praying! I am in Hong Kong right now with the Men's Choir, we will be here a few more days before we go to mainland China. So far we have only sang at schools and havn't even done a full concert yet, which is very different from what tours usually are, but it has been pretty cool being able to talk/hang out with students some. We are not staying in host homes like we usually do, but at a place called the High Rcck Center (which is on a high rock, or steep hill which is a doosy to walk up to get back) We have a pretty good handle on the public transit now. We have a full concert this on Saturday, tomorrow, which we invited a bunch of people to. So I hope they come! Ok, God bless,
Joel
