The very first time I remember meeting Todor was at a LDS youth conference in Bulgaria. At that time we didn't get to know each other too much, and since we were from the different parts of the country we didn't see each other at all other than for youth conferences or some other big church gatherings.
We served our missions around the same time. Both of us (also his sister and Stela) had the same teachers at the MTC. He served in the Provo mission and my family was living in Price which is a part of the mission. The last few months of my mission before I went home he was serving around the exact area where my family was. It was interesting to hear stories from my family about him visiting and how cool that was. Right before I went hoe he was transferred to a different area so I didn't get to see him. The time that we really got to know each other and became friends was when we both started studying at the LDS Business College. That was in June 2008. We even had 2 classes together from the get go. Until this day we hang out a lot and have fun together. We have very similar hobbies and interests and that makes it even more fun. We also help each other all the time with different things. He has always been a great help with fixing the cars but even more help when I had some struggles with my math classes :) Todor is one of the smartest people I know, and I always look up to him and ask for advice on different things.
