Dear all,
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! 2012 BABBBBBYY! Holla. How was your guys new years? Anyone do anything fun? We had a SPECTACULAR new years eve party this year. There are 3 pairs of elders serving in Varna along with the sisters and they had this great idea to invite all the missionaries over to their apt, set up the projector to play movies, have games and make lots of food! This idea came up because we were all supposed to be in our apts by 4 pm due to crazies running around outside. So why not just gather at one of the elders apt?! Lol. You all are probably freaking out right now, I love it. You want to know the best part about it? WE GOT PERMISSSION. President Roth approved and it was GLORY. We headed over to their place around 4. Sister Pantigoso, Elder Patterson and I started in the kitchen making a huge meal while Elder Brown was out on the balcony grilling away. The other elders got the movies set up and were visiting. It was like being at home for new years with all your friends. Real chill and real fun. We had dinner, watched "Tangled" made some hot cocoa thanks to Sister Pantigoso and then we sat down and played the game "Magic" for 2 hours. I decided Ive been asked too many times in my life to play this game and now was the time to give in and just learn. I got real into it. I was building up my little creatures. equiping them and becoming a complete nerd by yelling out, "I OWNED YOU!" to the elders which I killed Lol. After the 2 hour session of Magic. it was countdown time. We went ontop of the roof and watched all of Bulgaria go nuts with their fireworks. There was a huge firework show over the Cathedral here and it was so pretty. Dont worry kids, I got lots of footage. I screamed and ran around. It was such an experience and probably one of the best new years eves yet. Who gets to chill with all the elders at home, party and then see the new year in a foreign country with crazies running around? It was epic, for sure.
You all are probably wondering about Christmas. Christmas was pretty good. Zone Conference was here and the Roths bought us presents and lots of candy. We got to watch a real movie which was nice considering it had make out scenes in it and President is in the back just eatting his dessert and loving life. Lol. I love that man. We stayed in for most of Christmas due to Panti being sick and we just chilled. The elders gave us a portable dvd player so we did a lot of watching movies, baking and takin naps. It was really nice. Definitely hard to jump back into work though hehe.
Hmm what else? We had a lot of lessons this week but we only have one progressing investigator and that would be Fabio. He told Sister Pantigoso that he wanted to get baptized. We'll see what happens. We still need to explain the law of chastity because he struggles with that annnnd he will be returning to Spain in a few weeks so the missionaries in Spain will probably baptize him. I wish the work would pick up here. We get a lot of potentials but no one takes the bait lol. Sorry...No one wants to investigate! Gah. When there is no work the weeks become very SLOOOOWWWW. Bah. I hate when you have to find work.
Well all.. the weather is still nice here and I think I may be able to slip away from getting hit too hard with the winter weather....*crosses fingers*
I love you all...thats it for now. Choose the right and remember who you are.
