This is a story we are excited to tell. In the Estonian town of Narva in 2004, while we were serving in the Baltic mission, Elder Wolfgram and Elder Fox baptized a lady named Maarika Valling. This sister knew the church to be true and wanted to have her family join her in the church. She was able to introduce her niece, Selena Shuvalova to the missionaries. Selena joined the church and 1 1/2 years ago came to Bulgaria to serve a mission. Friday night we attended a farewell party for her and her aunt. Here we learned the story of their conversion. It is excitinig to see the fruits of the labors of our wonderful missionaries. We know Elders Wolfgram and Fox and I hope they understand the extension of their work has not stopped. Sis. Shuvalova was a wonderful missionary and we know many seeds were planted by her. Both Selena and Maarika are convinced that more of their family will join the church in the not too distant future. Saturday we held the first of another round of Super Saturday conferences. We love these activities and hope that those who attend gain some spiritual insights into the gospel We focused our events on the Last Supper to the Resurrection of our Savior. We heard the strong testimonies of some of the youth there, and feel an understanding of the sacrifice of our Savior was more firmly implanted into the minds of all those who attended. Today we had the opportunity to speak in our Plovdiv Branch. It is always a privilege to talk to the Bulgarians about their responsibilities as members, to love and strengthen each other, and to help others enjoy the blessings of the gospel that they enjoy.

I guess it has been a while since i have looked at your blog. It is always rewarding to see and read about the activities, travels and general missionary work that you are involved in. You both look so happy. I know that you are doing so much good there.
