Dimitri, our young Greek friend


It was the end of the day and we were a bit behind schedule.  We got a bit lost from our group and finally found our Greek speaking guys at the church, speaking to the local priest.  It seemed quite peaceful, which was unusual in our experience.  So we just hung around at the car waiting for them to finish.  This could be a very valuable conversation, because the priest was very reasonable and actually gave our guys the opportunity to tell him more about this Bible (which carries the stamp and signatures of the Orthodox church and should be in no means a threat to them, although many people perceive it as exactly this).  Anyway, in the meantime, young Dimitri kept us company, and although he didn’t speak a word of English, he was very happy to see us, and was quite interested in the 2010 happening in South Africa.  Blessed is this boy.
