Hey Mom and Dad,
Have I been able to ride on any other smelly buses lately... Yes. Smelly buses for me now is an everyday occurance. The buses here are pretty cheap. Yeah, they have trains but it adds around 3 hours to your travel time because they are really slow. So we usually take a bus. We took this really nice bus to Sofia last monday. It was huge and they even served drinks! However on the way back we got a small smelly one and thats when I realized I am kinda tall... especially when my knees are squished behind the seat in front of me...but it makes for some good laughs.
Sofia was fun. We got there and slept in an extra apt the mission has by the mission home. Woke up and did passport work for about 10 mins and then took a bus home. Around 10 hours of traveling for 10 mins...kinda funny! Although before we went to Sofia we went up the mountain and that was way fun! We found this old building (communist) and saw all these different torture chambers...pretty creepy.
The rest of the week was pretty normal. Although on friday we got transfer calls! I was so nervous about getting transfer calls. It was hard for me to eat and sleep. I found out that I will be staying in Sliven but will get a new companion named Sister Tate. I am sad because I loved being with Sister Child but I am happy to meet and have fun with Sister Tate.
It was way sad having to say goodbye to our district! We worked so well together! Oh well, I know that things will be great for this upcoming transfer too.
Today was Elder Olmstead's birthday! (He is an Elder in my district) So we attempted at making him a cake...it's a bit harder here because they don't have anything for birthdays here....they don't really celebrate birthdays here. So no frosting, candles...etc. So we got really creative. It was pretty fun though!
I just found out that for transfers I have to travel back to Sofia to get my companion (sis Tate) because she will be there for passport work and then get on a bus and come right back... They do this so that no one travels alone. So Sister Child will be coming with me and getting here companion (my old one Sis. Campbell) and then go to Stars zagora. Crazy huh? Lots of traveling but it's fun.
Anyway... congratulations are in order! Great job DAD!!! That's so AWESOME!!!!!!!! I am so happy. That's incredible!!! WOW! Keep it up! You've got this!!! I hope you guys win!!! You deserve it!! :)
Well I hope you have a fun spring break in Canada...original...haha. Tell me about it...get me a souveneir and send it to me!!
I love You!!!!!
Love, Jodi
p.s. I'm glad conference was so good! Sadly I don't get to see it for a couple weeks...but I am sure it will be great! I love you both so much
