Hey Mom and Dad,
Sounds like you are having a great time with Grandma and Grandpa! Glad to hear you are playing a lot of card games.
So, my new companion is Sister Frame. She is from Ephraim, UT (where Snow College is). She has been in Bulgaria for 4 months. She is a lot of fun and we are getting along just great! She is tall and blonde, so we stick out a lot!
There are 14 Sisters in Bulgaria. However, there are only 4 sisters in my zone. So the picture you get is only of my zone. There is a total of 3 zones in the mission.
So this week we met with Vili again. It was amazing. During the lesson she told us three times that she knows that her decision to be baptized is right. She has so much faith! She does not have any family around, so tonight we are having a lesson with her and baking goodies. On Christmas we will go caroling and deliver goodies to people. Then she will have Christmas dinner with us and the Elders and one of their investigators.
We had a lesson with Kiril again this week. He is doing well. Sometimes I just don't know what is holding him back. We are working on getting a lesson with a member present. We talked to him about the word of wisdom. It went well. However, he didn't come to church. Hopefully he will next week!
We had a lesson with Martin and Evgeni. They are really great. They have a break from school until February so we won't see them until then. Martin's home city has missionaries serving there. So I asked Martin if we could give the Elders there his number and he said Yes! Hopefully everything will go well with that. They said they would continue to keep praying and reading the scriptures.
A funny experience that happened this week... We were at the church and all of a sudden two men came in trying to sell us calendars. We explained that as missionaries we can't purchase things. Then they started asking us about the Book of Mormon. I told them that if they had time we could sit and discuss it. They agreed and we sat down. Then, a member named Yuli walked in and we asked him if he wanted to join. It was great, out of nowhere we had a member present lesson!
Everything is going well right now. I miss my old companion Sister Meyers a lot! It seems weird that she was just here, but now she is gone. I have been so blessed with so many great companions! (shout out to Caralee Child) With each one I have learned new things. I also have been blessed with great friends who have great standards. Last but not least, I have been blessed with an incredible family. I know that I am the person I am today because of all the amazing people in my life. It will be weird being on the other side of the world for Christmas, but I am glad I get to be serving others and being with those in need.
I love you all very much. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!! I can't wait to skype home!! So I need to skype at 5:30 pm my time.... which I believe will be 7:30 am your time! Sorry if that's early...but it's when I need to do it. PLEASE be ready and have everything good to go! Well, See you Christmas morning!!!!
Love,
Sister Farnsworth
