Hey Mom and Dad,
I will try and answer some questions first...
As missionaries we are not allowed to travel out of our mission to go to temple trips. That would be pretty nice if we could.
My new companion Sister Meyers is amazing! She is from Provo, UT and goes home one week before Christmas. She will be going back to school at BYU in the winter. I love being her companion. I learn so much from her and it is really nice because we both know exactly what to do out here on the mission and we both understand and speak so it is really nice. We are a great team and I know we will be great together.
We had our branch Halloween party on Saturday and it was a success! Everyone who came absolutely loved it. We had games such as "fishing in the dangerous sea", pin the nose on the pumpkin, halloween bingo, and of course musical chairs. We also had pumpkin carving that they could do if they wanted. We also made lots of chili (that is a favorite dish that the members always request) and had dessert. It took a lot of work but was a lot of fun.
It's good to hear you had a great conference. This Sunday President and Sister Wilstead came to visit Blagoevgrad. They gave talks and taught third hour. It was so nice. Everyone was on their best behavior and everything ran smoothly.
This week we were able to have some good lessons with some new people. We taught a woman named Katiya and her boyfriend Giorgi. They are so nice. They are just the people who are kind to everyone and respect us a lot. I really hope everything goes well with them. They have Fall break right now so we won't meet with them until next week. I am sure this city will be pretty vacant this week but I'm sure we will find some great people!
I hope all is well back home! I love all of you so much. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT. I hope you have a great week.
Love,
Sister Farnsworth

Hi Jodi,
Are you allowed to go to the temple trip in Germany? That would be so cool. How do you like your new companion Sister Meyers? Where is she from and when does she leave for home? I am sure you will be an excellent final companion!
Did the Hindu missionaries speak English or Bulgarian? Did you already have your Halloween party with the branch? How was it?
We just got back from Stake conference and we had a General Authority there. His name was Eduardo Gavarret. He is from Uruguay. He talked about how important it was for us to strengthen our families. Last night at the adult session Brother and Sister Greer from the Kennewick mission spoke. Sister Greer related an awesome story about a new convert. She said how she and president Greer got a phone call from a couple of their missionaries and they wanted them to come out and interview a man to be baptized. So they drove to the chapel and only saw a man who looked homeless and then the missionaries arrived. They introduced this man as Van Keys. They said that Van was full of the spirit and was a pleasure to speak with. The interview was completed and Van was baptized. Van said how he had gone through terrible things in his life including addictions and now because of the missionaries he had found the true church and would have loved to have found it 10 years earlier when he remembered that the missionaries came to his home but he would not answer the door. Sister Greer went on to tell more about Van and it was an amazing story.
Finally she related that a brother in his ward was going to give a talk in church and asked Van if he would be a part of his talk by bearing his testimony. Van was delighted and agreed to help. However, on his way to church that morning Van had a heart attack and died.
We never know how much time we have left on this Earth, so we should never procrastinate the day of our repentance.
It was a great conference. I hope that you are having a wonderful time on your mission.We love you and think of you often.
Mom and Dad
