Hey Mom and Dad,

Thanks for researching that question for me! Oh and Thank Grandma Farnsworth too!

Yeah that would be cool if I could lay carpet in my bedroom when I get back.... but I think I would rather have someone who is more skilled! We still haven't finished it at Plemina's so we have to wait until she gets back from Italy. I am not sure if the packages have arrived in Sofia yet or not. I am sure they are just waiting in the mission home until I go into Sofia. I will let you know when I get them.

I m glad to hear that things are going well for you! It sounds like you are having a great time riding your bike around everywhere! Riding a bike sounds so nice right now. That's good to hear that Keith is doing well! He should write me!! Oh and tell everyone hi for me back home!

This week went by fast and slow at the same time. We taught a lesson with our investigator Anna and she kept saying throughout the whole lesson that what we were talking about was exactly what she needed to hear at that time. We asked her again if she really still wanted to be baptized and she said Yes. We asked if there was anything we could do to help, but it is pretty much just between her and her husband. I love meeting these amazing people like Anna out here in Bulgaria. They are so amazing and have such great faith even when so many things around them are telling them not to.

We did a lot of contacting this week. It was pretty fun. We see all the people who we know and have talked to and we always say hi to them. When we go out into the streets I feel like the people know us so well now. Everynow and then I will see someone that I have met before and across the street they are yelling my name just to say hi. It is pretty funny.

Last p-day we played a little bit of soccer with a couple in our ward. The woman is named Audi and she is from Fiji and speaks perfect english. Her husband, Martin, is from Bulgaria originally, but studied in Austrailia and Canada so he speaks perfect English. He told us that now he thinks in English. Martin is not a member but has plans to be right when they get back to Austraila. Anyway, they are awesome.

Let's see I was able to teach gospel principles and relief society this week, that was fun. Oh and next week I am giving a talk in sacrament meeting! Wish me luck! Many people here don't know how to give talks so... they asked me to be an example of "how to give a talk" no pressure...ha ha. I am going to prepare a talk and have Martin go over to make sure it is good.

Not much else... Know that I love all of you so much and that Heavenly Father loves you even more. I am so honored to have parents like you. Thank you for being you and raising me in this church.

Have a great week!!

Love you,

Jodi...Sister Farnsworth
