Hey Mom and Dad,

I got your letter and package! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Everyone loves the shirts!

Well, this week was pretty busy. We had an English sign-up night, Institute, a Relief Society party, and of course our regular missionary work.

English sign-up night didn't exactly go as planned. It was too bad, but not very many people came. There might be people who end up coming for the actual course. We will see.

Institute was pretty good. We had a few investigators there with some members. It was good to see the members act as missionaries as they answered the concerns of our investigators. I think having more young people coming to institute will be a great way to find more people to teach.

We had a relief society party. It's still interesting thinking about how they do parties here whenever I think about how they would do parties back home. They are very different. They both work, it's just different.

Oh yeah, on Sunday we were able to watch the morning and afternoon sessions of General Conference! It was great! It was so great to listen to the general authorities speak. I could really feel the spirt as they testified. It also was great to hear about how many missionaries are out in the field and all those who will be out soon. I think it is so great that all these young adults are serving the Lord, along with the couples.

We have been having a lot of rain lately! So we have been doing a lot of tracting in blocks. The funniest things always happen... One very old man told me I needed to learn 7 more languages and then come back and speak to him. It has been fun. We had a few good lessons as well. We are hoping to meet with more people this coming week. Although it seems as though we have many other things we need to do.

Tomorrow I go into Sofia for more passport work and on Wednesday we have zone conference! So many things happening.

I hope you are all doing well! I love all of you very much! I hope you all have a fantastic week! :)

Love,

Sister Farnsworth
