Hey Mom and Dad,

It's good to hear all the great news! I am happy to hear that there is now a Vancouver WA mission! That's amazing!

So we got transfer calls on Friday. I found out that on Tuesday I will be going to Plovdiv to serve with Sister Wild. I am really excited. At the same time I am pretty sad about leaving Blagoevgrad. Yesterday for church they asked me to bear my testimony before I left. It was intense. Everyone was crying. I started tearing up as well. The people here are amazing and I have grown to be good friends with all of them. I don't like saying goodbyes.

It was heart breaking having to tell Vili that I was leaving. She is taking it pretty hard. However, I know that we will keep in contact and hear from each other more.

I am really excited for Plovdiv. I have heard great things about it! It will be my first big city here in Bulgaria! Also, it is the only city with an actual church house. It will be quite the change!

This week was great! Sometimes I don't know where the time goes. We had a great lessons this week. Martin and Evgeni are awesome. They know Vili now because she has been coming to our lessons with them. They are growing a lot, they are just looking for an answer.

We had a great lesson with Sedska! She came to church too! We had a member named Vanya in our lesson with her. We talked about God and how he loves each of us and knows us individually. We asked her if she knew the Book of Mormon was from God and she said yes! Things are going well with her!

Young Women's was great. We played little "minute to win it" games with the girls and they loved it! I am going to miss them a lot!

Zone Leader Training was great. We talked all about the Holy Ghost and how we need to have it in all that we do as missionaries. Then we talked about how we can help our investigators know how to feel the promptings of the Holy Ghost. It was a good learning experience. It is helping be become a better missionary.

I cannot believe that I have been with Sister Frame for 10 weeks and now the transfer is over! She has been a great companion. I have learned so many things from all the Sisters that I have served with. I am excited to learn more things with Sister Wild.

It is also sad that Sister Tate will be leaving tomorrow for America. I will miss her.

I hope everything is going well for all of you! I hope you have a great week! Remember who you are. I love all of you very much!

Love,

Sister Farnsworth
