  The Homestead transfer process says that I should contact wordpress about initiating a transfer and you will send me an email that will have a place for a Homestead-generated authorization code (which I have). I can’t find anything about how to get that email with the appropriate link to initiate the transfer.
  thanks

  Thanks for getting in touch. While we register new domains here at WordPress.com, we’re not able to accept incoming transfers of existing domain names. We therefore recommend that you keep the name registered at your current registrar. You can use the domain for your site here at WordPress.com by mapping the domain, as explained here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Since you have a Value Bundle, this mapping would be free.

  For more information about the differences between domain registration, hosting, and mapping, please see our page All About Domains:

  Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
