We thought we would have internet in our apartment by this week, but we’re learning that nothing in Greece happens quite as fast as they tell you it will. Unfortunately, what this means is that the telephone number that we gave in our last mailing does not work yet. It’s an internet phone, so… no internet, no phone. We would love to hear your voices again, but we’ll have to wait a few more weeks! If you’ve sent emails or tried to call, we’re sorry for our slow response.

This week will actually be a pretty big one for us, as school has started at all of our campuses, and we will be busy meeting new friends. We hope to have twenty new friends each by the end of the week. On Friday, we get on a train to head to northern Greece for a student retreat of 15-20 evangelical Greek students from Thessaloniki. I will be teaching about how to connect with the hearts of people who don’t know Christ. Please pray for me!

Also pray for my friend Dimitris, who I met on Friday. He’s a friendly, fun 19 year old, who shares my love for music. He has already invited me out to see live music, although I haven’t been able to join him yet. He’s interested in spiritual things, but is not sure how God has anything to do with everyday life.

Last Thursday we received our shipment from the US. Having our stuff here and being able to hang pictures on the wall helps make our apartment feel more like home. We miss you all, and we thank you for your prayers and support!
