This morning I woke up and came down for breakfast about 8:00 am.   After breakfast I did some organization of things for our BIG trip in to Athens today for church. We had our 2nd Bible class then at 9:00 and following that class I did some more preparation and organization and then at 12:15 we caught our first bus. We boarded our first bus which was crowded but not to bad.   We rode the bus to the next town where we had to change buses to Athens. Once we arrived in Athens we took the Metro to Sentogua square across  from the Parlament building. Here we saw the two guards that change every half  hour.

We then toured the center part of Athens as a group going by many old buildings and shops.   I ate lunch at one of the places that Mr. Myhan recommended.  I had 2 gyros sandwiches and french fries. After that, we went around to many shops and then everyone met up at Starbucks coffie shop to walk over to church together.

Tonight at church we had the Dean of the college of Bible at Harding School of Religion in Memphis, TN, and also the visiting elders, deacons, church members traveling to see the congregation here that they support.   Tonight church met at 6:00 pm for the English service which is 10:00 am at home. For communion service 6 different men lead the prayer; each in there own language; Russin, Greek, African, English, and others. The deacon from one of the supporting congregations did the lesson tonight and Joe helped with the song leading. After church we had soft drinks and cookies and fellowshipped together for about 30 minutes before boarding a charter bus to go back to Portarafti.

Tonight for supper we had leftovers for the week and then I went out and typed part of this entry up in the hamack by the pool. The wirleess internet barley reached so I was able to do it on the web from there. It is now off to bed earlier tonight.
