Sunday - A much needed rest

The first words I heard this morning, before my eyes were even open, were:  "Mom, can we stay home today?"  My kids are officially tired.

So that settled it, the only venture we were going to do today was to church and home again.  Michael found a English speaking branch that started at 1:30, so we lounged around the apartment and had a lazy morning.  Around 12:40 we meandered down to the metro and headed to the Acropolis exit, which is where the church building was.  We knew we were there before we saw the sign because there were at least eight missionaries outside the building.

One of them took our picture!  Most of the missionaries serving in the area are from Europe.

The church's name is written in Greek on the glass door.  You see what I mean that I don't have any idea what anything says.  NO CLUE.  The gold plate to the left of the door has the name written in Greek again and the English translation below it.  I realized that the word for "of" in Greek is spelled "TOY"  that's the extent of my reading of Greek.

Everyone in the branch was really kind and wonderful to us - we stayed for the entire service, which is only 2 1/2 hours here.  There is another family visiting here in Athens from Australia and their children and our children were delighted to have each other to talk to.  Yay for other children to talk to!

This is the way the rest of our day looked.  We are well rested and ready for tomorrow!

Tomorrow is our last day of fun in Europe!  I can't believe its almost been a month already!
