Hey guys,
My week went by very well with the highlight of course being the phone call from home. Not much new to report as you just spoke with me on Thursday, so hopefully I can send a picture after this email. keep your fingers crossed. It sounds like the rest of the Christmas day was awesome. You are exactly right about the Christmas memories are way more important than the gifts. Thats kind of why Christmas this year didn't seem like christmas. But it was sure nice to be out in the mission field for Christmas. I keep telling myself, that all missionaries over the world have the Christmas spirit year round. We are all giving what is most important to us to others. I can't think of any better gift than the gift of the gospel.
To answer your question: after that phone call we had one more appointment, where we read the account of the saviors birth in Luke 2 and enjoyed a meal with the Ansumana family. In the evening I listened to the tape. Thanks a bunch. I absolutely loved hearing from everyone (even though some of the songs were . . .well crappy). You suprised me by getting everyone from Miro and some members of the ward. Josh Lang I love you man and I understood nothing you said. I hope you weren't calling me any names in Albanian. Mariama and Miro have letters on the way. Thanks again to everyone who contributed on the tape and for the gifts. I think we are going to try and make a tape back, but I'm not sure how its going to get to you. We'll try for you. Hey, I even thought of a better idea, you can now send me tapes in the packages. or do I have the only recording device? Oh well.
The only things that I think I need now are some more battries. The pajama's were sweet, but I'm never sleeping in them here. We have named our room in the apartment "the oven", and it is nothing less than that.Thanks for everything again. GO UTES this week.
