Hey everyone!!!
So transfer calls were this past week!!!
I was NOT expecting the call that I got. President Roth calls me and says,
"Sister Kinkead! You will be serving with Sister Tate.......*a pause* and
you will both be serving in...*another pause* Blagovgrad!!" I started
freaking out!! I was jumping up and down and saying, "yes!! yes!!! Thanks
President!" I was so excited because 1) I really wanted to go with Sister
Tate 2) Its finally my time to shine and Im going senior companion and 3) I AM
OPENING A NEW CITY FOR SISTERS!!!!!! There has NEVER been sisters in
Blagovgrad. President has always talked about it but has never had the
chance...now he does! And Tate and I will be doing it together! I am quite
nervous but excited at the same time. The elders that are in that area with us
wont be there the first couple of days so Tate and I will have to find our way
around lol. It'll be an adventure but a good one at that. Im looking forward to
a new change. I feel like Im finally hitting that point of my mission where Ive
climbed the mountain and Im finally getting to the top. The beautiful top that
everyone has been talking about. The view is great and you can just stand, take
it all in and enjoy. The end of this next transfer will be in mid April and in
May I will be coming home so...this next transfer will almost finish my mission
and it will be a good one. Were going to work really hard but enjoy ourselves
at the same time and not run around like chickens with no heads. Ive had
companions like that....hehe. I love Varna but Im sick of the wind here. Brrr!!!
It gets SO cold here. I hear Blagovgrad is a lot warmer. I also heard it has
some ski resorts! That would be so cool if President would let us go skiing but
Im 99.9% sure he wouldnt let us go lol.
Fabio left this past week for Spain.
We had a huge surprise goodbye party for him. We blind folded him, put him in a
taxi and went to a nice restaurant where all the missionaries and some members
were waiting for him. We unfolded his blindfold and he began to shed some
tears. He really enjoyed his party and I know that he really felt the love that
we have for him. Fabio has told us in the past that he cant cry anymore. hes
gone through too many things that he has become numb to showing emotion but
that night I saw him wipe away his tears and it really touched my heart. He sat
beside me all night and was laughing and joking. Hes one of my favorites and I
will never forget him. He signed in my memory book and told me that he hopes to
see me again in this life...he says he has a good feeling we will cross paths again
:) Love him.
Our investigator Julian has been
progressing very well! I dont know if Ive mentioned him or not but the elders
were working with him before but they dropped him because he wasnt reading or
praying. Julian came up to me on the street wanting to know more about the plan
of salvation. I got his number, checked with the elders about teaching him and
set up an appointment to meet with him. Since then, we've met with him 5 times
and hes progressing SO FAST. He really thinks about everything we say and has
so many good questions. Hes been reading his scriptures and praying!! I am so
proud! He even came to church the other week. I have good feelings about
him.
We had mission tour this past week.
It was......interesting.
Anyway, thats all for now! I travel
into Sofia tomorrow to grab my new companion and head down to the borders of
Macedonia and Greece. Hahaha. Blagovgrad baby! Have a good week everyone!!
I love you!
-Sister Kinkead
