It's grind time! Just a bit less than 5 weeks and I'll be in Shqipëria. We taught our lesson in only Shqip and it went pretty well. I know as we learn more language the frustration will go down and we'll be able to get the message across more efficiently. We know what we need to do; we just need to put in our part and work like oxen (oxes?)
After 6 weeks, you'd think I'd go crazy in here, but maybe I'm just weird. I'm very happy here: the food is still tasty and varietous (varietieous?), devotionals and firesides give you something to chew on, and in general learning the language and how to teach isn't getting old. I might change my tune by April 6th, but I highly doubt it. For anyone looking at a long stay here, or even a short stay, don't listen to the sadsacks who just complain about their stay. Have a good attitude and you'll have a good experience.
Not much else to say, really... I expect my posts will get much more interesting the closer it gets to departure and especially when I get in country. Have I said that before? I think I have, but I'm not sure. Man, I don't have a good reckoning of time anymore. Hey, congrats to my buddy Ben Oborn, I hear he's close to having everything in order for his call! Looking forward to where the Lord needs him most!
Aaaaand... I'm out
Tell the new District Leader congrats! Like the photo. Elder Warburton's mom
