It was almost dark by the time the baptism was finished. Here they are walking out of the sea. A man swimming in the area was very curious & came over & talked to the Zone leaders about what he had seen.
This is a picture taken just before Mary's baptism in the Aegean Sea last Saturday. You can see what a small man President Todi is--he's standing up & Dennis is kneeling down. Standing left to right are Beauty, Elder Schmaal, Elder Rodderick, Mary, and Fred, the other counselor in the Branch.
This mosaic tile floor is from the Byzantine Era about 1000 years ago. We thought it was amazing how intricate the detail is & how vibrant the colors still are.
There are centuries of ruins at Philippi, some are Roman, some are Byzantine & some are from the ancient Greek empire. I believe these columns are Byzantine from about a thousand years ago.
Ruins of the prison at Philippi where they believe the apostle Paul was imprisoned.
Some of the children we took pictures of in their native regional dress, preparing for the parade on Oxi Day. This was in a little town near Kavala. We were on our way to the ruins at Philippi.
A view of the city of Kavala, where we have four missionaries. It's a very beautiful little city on the Aegean Sea. One set of elders live at the top of the city, and one set at the bottom. The set at the top have legendary stories about how fit they become from climbing all the stairs.
A wonderful view of the columns at Corinth through an old, old tree.
These are pilars in from the ruins at Corinth. There are quite extensive ruins there & they believe they know where the apostle Paul would have stood to preach. The New Testament tells us that he came through Pireus (I think I spelled that wrong), which is a the big shipping port near Athens. Corinth was probably about 45 minutes from Athens by bus.
Dennis & Barbara in front of the treasury at the ruins at Mycenae. The vault was pretty impressive--all stone like the outside, but round, probably a diameter of 30 feet or so & a ceiling that came to a point probably a hundred feet high.
These are pictures of some of the ruins at Mycenae. This was a part of the couple's conference in September. The Mycenaean civilization existed around 1000 B.C.
