Hi. I enter the MTC on November 14.
In English I would be called Elder Elder.
I was just wondering what I will be called in Bulgaria.

Hey! I enter the MTC Nov 14th too! My name is Mason Wooley. That would be cool if we were companions. When did you get your call? Have you began learning the language? If so, what methods have worked well for you?

In Bulgarian the word for Elder is "STAR-ey-she-na" (Sorry that's not in cyrillic, but I some how am lacking that font on my computer!)
If anyone is interested sister is: "Ses-tra"
You'll get a tag with your name in English, then your teacher will order you one in cyrillic. They have to trasnlate your name for you before they will give you an all Bulgarian tag. So don't buy a bunch of English tags, you won't need them after the MTC.

Hey I'm Elder Kelley
I was suppose to report Nov. 14th. But salt lake called and asked if I would report sep. 19th. I'm excited, but did that happen to either one of you?

Yes...Старейшина Елдър. No need to confuse the poor people by translating your last name. Congratulations on your mission call. We look forward to seeing all of you here.
And "sister" is spelled Сестра, with the accent on the second syllable. like ses-TRA.
Good luck with your preparations. It'll be good to get here and hit the ground running as much as you can.

Thanks for catching my grammar mistake Blindspot. I realized that I didn't put the stress on Ses-TRA, after I posted. How is the new bebe? Hope you guys are good!  |

I have been looking up how to write Kelley in Cyrillic. All the translation programs just keeps telling me its the same. Does anyone know how to spell it in Cyrillic? I just cant figure out how to spell the long E sound at the end of Kelley. I got the K, the short E, and the L's but not that long E. Anyway...Thanks a bunch for your help!
