Hey Mom and Dad,
OK just to let you know, I had a good birthday! My companion made me my funfetti cake! It was good. Everything you sent worked out perfectly!
I am glad that the youth had a great conference! That sounds like so much fun! Ok and as for your question, many investigators I have had ask about the commandment a lot. Mostly the word of wisdom and the law of chastity. Things like, "If I only have wine on Christmas and Easter why is that bad?, I am not getting drunk and it is healthy for the body." Or why do you have to wait until after marriage? If you are dating them and are in a relationship there is no problem." These commandments are so against their culture here they are doing these things since they have been 12 or 13. Well I hope that helps... Also they have a hard time not reading prayers. Here if they want to say a prayer the buy a prayer book and read from that.
Things here have been going well. We have been doing a lot of contacting everyday. we have some potentials that we are working with but they are in hard situations. we are teaching a woman named Ana. she really wants to be a member but her husband won't let her and you have to get permission from your spouse here to be able to get baptized.
My old investigator in Sliven is getting baptized on Saturday! I am so excited for him and I hope I will be able to make it to the baptism!
Thanks for everything and I would like to hear more about what you are doing now that summer is out!
Love you,
Jodi
