We were married by Bishop John Groom in the Church in Lakeside, California - 2005
Our Sealing at San Diego Temple in 2008
Where I (Ivan) learned English language?
I was born and grew up in Bulgaria.
From 1990 till 1993, I lived and worked in Munich, Germany.
There I was baptized (August 12, 1990) and became a member of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, LDS.
In Munich, I spent time (trying to help with translation) after work (working as a Quality Assistant at pvb medizintechnik GmbH) with the missionaries from the United States of America who were communicating in English between them and I asked them lots of questions. Sometimes the missionaries would give me a scripture to read and ponder upon it.
Some of my favorite scriptures are:
From The Book of Mormon: Alma 26:12 (since 1992), 1 Nephi 4 (since July 1993), Alma 30 (since January 1994), Moroni 7:6-10 (since January 1994)
From The Bible: Luke 2 (since 1990), The Book of Job (since January 1994)
When I came to The United States, I went very often to the library in Lakeside to learn how to do some repairs and remodeling in my parents in law's house. I also went there to learn wooden toys making technique and to find toy patterns. I am very happy for the new building of the library in Lakeside, California. It is looking very nice inside too and it has lot of books and modern technology.
The Library in Lakeside, California - opened in March 2023
The third member of our family - Lucky, Jack Russell Mix, Picture: September 2015
He had a lung cancer removing surgery in 2020.
After that he developed diabetes and became blind as a result of it.
Curranty he is receiving an insulin shot and eye drops twice daily.
He is still alive and doing well.
Since 2005 (when I came to the United States) till now, we have visited many beautiful places in the United States
From 2008 till 2019 we have visited about 15 National Parks and many National Monuments and historic places. I, Ivan, hope that I have been a good travel companion, as I did not have any income more than the half of this time period.
