Ok, so that's weird. I had no idea
Brother Gjoligu was ever the 2nd Branch President. I talked to him like
twice, but didn't really talk too much about his time in Albania.
That'll be cool to talk to him after the mish. (See comment on March 25th post)
Yes we can watch conference, but only the morning
sessions, which will begin at 6 PM here. All the Tirana missionaries
will actually be watching it at President's house.
Preach My Gospel has been pretty helpful during the
mission. How to teach, how to teach with the Spirit, how to recognize
it. Honestly, just reading it constantly and applying it constantly in
your work is how you can best utilize it.
Sounds like the hike was fun. I bet I wouldn't have complained that time. (Cold Mountain, VA)
So, dad:
1)
So, April Fools day is called "The Day of Liars" here. And I think
people here take the day more seriously than Americans do. We have a
dinner appointment tonight at 6:30, so we will see.
2) Man, I had to keep reminding myself that it was
Easter. I honestly forgot. The members passed out colored eggs and we
tapped them with each other and said, "Gexuar Peshkat" (Happy Easter).
Otherwise, we went to the Winders (2nd and 4th Branch couple) house and
ate ham and french toast.
3) So, yeah, Tirana is big. The city is just more
active. The people are more active. It's weird. Fier and Elbasan are a
lot more quiet. The thing
is with small cities you make more friends, and the people know you more
because it's smaller. That doesn't happen here.
4) Yeah, sorry I forgot, there's a sister
companionship that covers 1st and 3rd branch areas. I think next
transfer a sister companionship will be opened in the 2nd and 4th branch
areas.
Alright, take it easy this week. I can't believe
it's spring break already for you, Jake. Enjoy driving! Andrea, sore
legs are good for you. Eric, don't fail.
Ju dua!
