Magnificent Meteora
Spent the morning visiting and encouraging George at the church; the Christian Center struggles with growth in such a historically Orthodox culture. He shared his biggest prayer need - that the Lord would bring forth two or three men to serve as godly elders, currently they have none.

The Greek English dictionary also provides many useful translations, when Nikoleta comes down for coffee she finds one very happy English friend and one equally happy Greek friend bonded by talk of food.
