April 22nd 2013

Hey Mom and Dad,


Where to start? First off, thanks for all the updates on things! That's interesting about the change in the movie...that is a pretty funny movie. Also give my congrats to Rianne and Kevin! Wow. I am surprised and happy for them. Do you know when they will get married?

I had a great week. Weeks are going by really fast! On Tuesday we went out to a part-member family's house in their village. They live about 40 mins away from Plovdiv. It was quite the adventure. We took a train and then walked 4 kilometers to their village. It was really nice. We enjoyed being there with them and you could see they were happy to have us there. They made us a lot of food! It was really good too. They are from Armenia, so a lot of the food they made was Armenian food. Yummy.

We had a really goodlesson with a new man we met named Giorgi. He is in his mid-late 30's and is a 2nd grade teacher. It went very well and the spirit was very strong. He told us how he is searching for the truth.

We also had a good time contacting this week. We met this woman and her daughter on our way back to our apartment. We started talking and found out that they spoke perfect English. They had been going through some hard times and wanted to heear more about what we believe and how it can help them. We talked for awhile on the street and before we left we gave them a hug. You know that  when you can end meeting someone on the street with a hug, it was good.

Church yesterday was amazing. There were so many little miracles happening here and there. We had been praying that a lot more people would come to church. We have a big building here in Plovdiv but it isn't filled with people on Sundays. Well, yesterday right as the meeting was about to start, so many people started coming in! People that we had prayed to come, came! I was leading the music up at the front and could see the sacrament room filled with members and non-members! It was amazing.
Also we were able to meet with a young woman that we had been trying to get a hold of for weeks! So many great things have happened this week.

I can't believe that the end of another transfer has come... I feel as though I just got to Plovdiv. On Friday or Saturday we will receive transfer calls. I am pretty sure I will stay here in Plovdiv (which I'd be happy about) but you never know what will happen...

Well, That's about it for me. I hope you are all doing well. Have a great week! Remember who you are and that Heavenly Father loves you!

Love,

Sister Farnsworth
