Hey Mom and Dad,
So when I went into Sofia for passport work, I got the letter you sent me! Thanks so much! I loved it.
Just to clarify... when I go into passport work, that means that I am going to get a new card that says I can stay in Bulgaria. I need my passport with me so they can write down information, that's why they call it "passport work."
I hope you all had a great Easter. They don't celebrate Easter here this year until May 6th.... I have no idea why it is so late! We had a great fast and testimony meeting. Some of the new converts in the branch bore their testimonies and it was really powerful. It is so great seeing people change their lives and strengthen others by bearing their testimonies.
This week was great. We had our big institute fireside. It was pretty stressful getting everything set up, but it was great. We had guests from Moscow, Russia and Kiev, Ukraine. When the guest from Moscow spoke the man from Ukraine had to translate it into English and then a member who knows perfect English had to translate into Bulgarian. I thought it was pretty cool! They gave a great presentation on Joseph Smith and the start of the church in America. They talked about how you can be truly happy even when you don't have the material needs you want. It was a really good message and the spirit was very strong. We are really hoping that we can get institute big and strong here. We need the youth of the church to unite and become friends.
We had some great lessons this week. My favorite lesson this week was when we taught our new convert about Temples. She absolutely loved it. I love being able to show people pictures of temples and explain the importance of them.
Well I hope you all have a great week! I can't wait to see General Conference this weekend! make sure you all take great notes! I love you all very much.
Love,
Sister Farnsworth
