That’s a nice lead in to our next question: What takes up your time when you are not working? On Sunday morning, the kids and I go to church. Once a week I attend a singing rehearsal with a choir that I am a part of. We sing national folk songs with modernized arrangements. I also attend Zumba classes once a week. What’s your favorite TV show of all time and why? I love watching historical drama, science fiction and almost all of Marvel movies. Some favorites are The Passion of the Christ, Braveheart, The Patriot, The Matrix, Wonder Woman, and The Chronicles of Narnia.

I would probably treat themwith a home-made Banitsa, which is a traditional pastry with cheese and eggs, and then visit a few workshops where hand-made knives and wooden souvenirs are manufactured. Depending on their preference, we could also go horseback riding, wine-tasting, skiing, berry picking, or monastery touring. It looks like 24 hours won’t be enough to explore Kostenets and the region! If you could have dinner with three people, living or dead, who would they be? I would love to have dinner with some of the so-called God’s Generals of the past, like Kathryn Kuhlman and Smith Wigglesworth and some of the living ones such as Bill Johnson from Bethel Church. Their ministries have impacted millions of lives all over the world and this is something I have had in my heart for some time now. I would like to be a vessel so that people’s lives are flooded with the Lord’s love and presence. Name one thing that people reading this magazine don’t know about you.
