Varna is pretty awesome, the members here are amazing! We have a much bigger branch here, which is a great blessing, it is pretty hard in the smaller branches.
We don't have a view of the sea just a bunch of annoying seagulls that nest outside our window and make a ridiculous amount of noise very early in the morning. It is pretty hot and a little humid so I'm a pretty sweaty Elder by the end of the day. Our air conditioner is also broken, it fried the day before I got here so I've been living in an oven all week, but they should be coming to fix it this week which is good because I'm not a huge fan of the heat.
We do a lot of walking when we contact, we only use the buses to get out to the further sides of the city for appointments, but it is good and a very pretty city. There are two other sets of missionaries here some sisters and elders. I'm here with Elder Hoy as a zone leader, so I'll get to travel out to some other cities this transfer for exchanges, I'm excited to go to Burgas and see the members there again!
About my companion: he is from Canada (Edmonton), he has two younger sisters, he's a quarter Chinese. He likes a lot of things: soccer, Canada, food, cool stuff. He doesn't like seagulls and I can't think of anything else he doesn't like.
We don't have a ton of investigators, but we are finding some cool people. The members here are really helpful in teaching and we are working on getting them to invite their friends and such to things.
I think we'll have a great transfer, it is a bit of a change of pace to have a companion that also can speak Bulgarian and knows whats up and all.
So yeah, life is good in Varna!
I love you, have a great week!
Elder Maxwell
