January 22nd 2013

Dear Mom and Dad,

Well this week was great. We did a lot of contacting trying to find new people to teach.

We had a lesson with Vili. She is amazing. We talked to her about missionary work and service. We told her about how we get callings in the church and we can serve that way. Then Sister Frame asked her how she herself could be a missionary (as in serving people in the branch and helping us with lessons). Well... she then shocked us and told us she wanted to ask us how she could me a missionary and serve a mission! She told us that she had just started thinking about it and wants to know everything she has to do. We were very happy for her. We told her that sh first needs to be a member for a year and then she can turn in papers! It was so exciting to talk to her about serving a mission!

We were not able to meet with Kiril this week because he left for Italy. He should be back soon. So hopefully we can meet with him this week.

Yesterday we had Zone Conference. Wow, it was amazing! It was so great to have President and Sister Malm(They are from Sweden but live in Moscow, Russia right now) there. I learned so much. We learned so much about how much potential we all have. This life on earth is so incredibly short. We need to make the most of it and be the best we can be. We also talked about being true learners through faith. We need to have the Holy Ghost with us at all times because the Holy Ghost is the true teacher.

We just got back from Rila Monastery today! It was fun to go again. It was really cold up in the mountains but very pretty.

Another thing I found out... so when I first got here in Bulgaria somehow our missions got changed to 19 months for Sisters and 25 months for Elders. That is because there was a lot of changes with how long people were to stay in the MTC. Anyway, we found out that they got together and fixed that to make it go back to 18 months and 24 months. This means that instead of me coming home on July 3rd (like I thought). I will now be coming home on June 11th.

Well I hope you have a great week! Keep up your hard work. I love all of you and pray for you all the time!

Love,

Sister Farnsworth
