We finally got our visas to go to Sofia on June 27th, and made the flight there Thursday June 29. There is a new law in effect in Bulgaria that requires foreigners who wish to be in the country more than 30 days out of 6 months to have a visa. This involved several trips to the Bulgarian Embassy, as well as being interviewed and having an official letter of invitation from a Bulgarian. We were happy to be able to make one last trip there. While we were there we were able to spend time with the Christians on outings as well. We played mini-golf with Biss (his first time), went on a hike with Biss and Stella ( a friend of Biss' that has recently become interested in Bible study and attends worship services), went to the zoo with Savella, and went out to eat at Happy (a Bulgarian restaurant) with Aaron, Dinyu, and Biss.
