Glowsticks are dank

Howdy yall. I procrastinated writing this again and now I'm very tired after a long day. We are doing this highlight thing like I did last week and I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. If any of you have a problem with that please contact your bishop or stake president. 

- helped build a fence

- helped make honey comb sheets for bees

- Dank exchange with Elder Koch and also Esquivel with his son in Elbasan before they got transferred out to Vlorë :'(( already miss those guy. Our stacked district will not be the same without them.

- all of us Elders in the district have started an emotional resilience course which is cool

- met another referral this week and this guy is sick. He makes pizza, is 20, and has lots of deep life questions. I think we are getting him a bible. We walked around lushnje twice with the guy. Pretty dope dude.

- Had a scary meeting/lesson with a very flirty 26 year old girl who has genuine interest but it's hard to not feel uncomfortable sometimes. Having sister missionaries is a blessing that we do not have here so we'll have to figure out how to move forward in this situation.

- Worked in a finished greenhouse and ate some bomb peppers

- Allergies

- We scrambled to get a talk and second hour lesson ready for church Saturday night while cleaning and forgot we had a meeting and ended up having to do it the next day which in turn led us to starting church 10 minutes late. Imperfect leadership what can I say

- We've got a good handful of members who have committed to going to the temple in September who have never been before which is so awesome! I'm stoked for all of them.

Story time because pday was sick today. A couple weeks ago, an idea was presented by the legendary Elder Koch. This idea was accepted by all of us of course and so we found a place to buy glowsticks and then did so. Flash forward to today, we traveled to Berat and hiked to some old communist military tunnel/caves. Very cool. We pull out my speaker that looks like a BMW grill that I inherited from Elder Rowley, start playing some dank Albanian music, and then we get to cracking and shaking some glowsticks so they were all ready for us. 5 minutes later we were all covered in glowy glowstick goop looking really fresh while we continued to light the cave up so it looked like a bunch of green, yellow, and blue stars. Very very very fun. Got a cool group of missionaries here. It was a relief to shower later on though gotta say.

Anyways, love you all! Hope you're all thriving. Sorry I have been pretty bad at responding to any emails recently but I promise I have seen them! Crossing my fingers I remember to respond next week to all of you because I appreciate you very much.

The End *accompanied by very little sleep and long plane rides*

This is indeed the end. The final email. I hope any of you have enjoyed reading some of these and seeing pictures from the amazing work out ...
