Hey, guess what, family dearest? I am in Bulgaria! I was really beginning to think that I might not ever send an email like this, but here I am. The last two days (Sort of? The last 39 hours that technically has been two days? Time changes throw you for a loop) have been absolutely wild, fast, and wonderful. It started with some tough goodbyes in Colorado, then on the plane! Sister Thatcher and I got to the gate with plenty of time, but we sat on the tarmac for about an hour and a half while they de-iced the plane. That made everyone nervous. Luckily, with a mad dash through the O'Hare Airport and some serious prayers in the security line, we jumped on the plane with just enough time. The flight to Vienna was great (I talked to an Albanian guy for a long time), and Vienna was...gray. I spoke to a Bulgarian guy on the flight to Sofia about his watch for a while, then we landed.
Sofia is great and busy--I just got back from an hour of stopping people in the street and spewing slaughtered Bulgarian at them. A little cold, but the most fun I've had in a long time. Life is great, President Wilstead is awesome (I told him about Cliff and Betsy), and I can't wait to get out and do it some more.
много ви обичам!
Старейшина Харди
