Howdy folks. I figured I owed you all an email from me seeing as the year just turned over. I'll also be seeing many of you again this year so I gotta start off on good terms. It's all conditional love.
Anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Things have been pretty nuts over the course of December. Working in the office in Tirana is kinda mundane a lot of the time, but it is still pretty cool and there's a lot of benefits that outweigh the negatives. First off, we get to spend a lot of time around President and Sister Burdon which is actually so clutch. They're amazing. We are also in touch with a lot of missionaries around the mission on a regular basis which is way dope because we're always in the loop and tight with the homies even in different countries. It is fresh. We've also done a little travel and will be doing some more soon. We went up to Kosovo for a Christmas Conference a couple weeks back which was way cool because I've never made it up there. I got to see all my northern homies and enjoy the freezing cold weather and gheg dialect of albanian. The major and biggest con of being in this position though is that we never ever get to work in our area. It's so tough. We don't know members or friends or anything, but we are doing our best to try and do things. I can say though that this coming week we will have 0 time in our area hahaha because we're doing some exchanges and stuff but hey it's alright.
Something that is super clutch about Tirana 2nd ward though is that I get to be around Martin again. Since he got baptized last February I basically haven't seen him, but now I get to see him basically on a weekly basis. He is such a dawg. Here's to hoping we can make time to actually meet with him and stuff in the future because hey, he is a recent convert after all hahaha (even though he's like the most converted person I've basically ever met). Anyways, moving on.
The holidays have been so fun though. The Burdons are way too nice to us and we've basically had days off to celebrate and party together in our districts and zones even since we're all so close together in the north zone. You can enjoy the pictures featured in the several posted weeks below. As per usual, Albanian New Years was freaking hype and the city was exploding around us as we stood on the roof of our apartment building. These guys know how to celebrate. Fr Fr The US needs to take some notes and remove all fireworks restrictions so that they can be as cool as Albania.
That's all for now folks! Have a great year and see you all later!
