Getting the hang of the office...

Hello!
Elder Davis has gone home already. He was in Elder McDonald's (my trainer) group. His parents picked him up and they gave me some candy! The mission is small enough that everyone knows when everyone will go home.
I know about the big groups coming to Bulgaria because we have a list of all the incoming and outgoing missionaries on the wall to my right at my desk. It is pretty cool.
Everything is going pretty well. I pretty much know my job now. An address locator is what we do when a member of the church changes addresses without telling us. So we head over to their apartment, and they dont live there anymore. We fill out this form and ask around to find their new address so that the missionaries there can contact them and get them to come back to church. Most of the time we dont find a new address, so they just get taken off our list and added to the floater list.
Of course we go to zone conference! We are still missionaries!
I am still studying the language, but I don't get as much time to practice it as before. I am in the office all day and I can't speak Bulgarian there.
Being around president Bennett is great! He is a really amazing person and a capable leader. I find myself watching how he does things so I can improve myself in those areas. He is a really funny guy, and it never gets old to be around him. President gets released next June.
Everything is going great here. Thanks for the love and support you give me!
Love,
Elder Turner
