We had our Mini Zone Conference today. We played volleyball indoors and then played football in the rain. It was so much fun. It was nice to do something physical for a change.
Favorite Scripture:
Matthew 16:24-26
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

We got transfer calls. I'm staying here with a new companion while Elder Anderson is going to Sofia to be the pianist for the new choir group that Pres. Bennett has put together. Elder Turner will be my new companion. I met him last transfer out in Varna. He is good guy. I already have a lot of respect for him. The bad news about all of this is they have taken the sisters out of Plovdiv. Plovdiv will only have 4 missionaries. This is crazy b/c of all the work here. Plovdiv is the largest working branch in Bulgaria. The ZL's will still be here but they can't help much because they'll be on splits with the rest of the zone. Let's just say I'm a little nervous. My Bulgarian isn't very good. I still struggle. I'm going to need a miracle to get through this. I'm just not qualified. Deep down I feel calm about it because I believe this is going to be the transfer that I do it. I came to Bulgaria to do something but I haven't figured out what it is. I think that this is when it comes out. It has too b/c this is the most responsibility I'll ever have on my whole mission. Plovdiv all to myself. Some missionaries would do anything for this opportunity b/c this is the best city in Bulgaria. Please be praying for me. I need so much help.
