well, i was right about Boy. he is alive & well in Albania. he starts training a new missionary this week & is more than a little stressed about it. luckily, he is still sending a steady stream of hilarious Albanian words for me to enjoy. here are some of my favorites, with his commentary.Filan-someone whose name is not to be mentioned (apparently Lord Voldemort really did hide out in Albania!)
Peshkaqen njeringrënës-great white shark (this one is awesome because the direct word-for-word translation is actually ‘person-eating shark)
Virrake-dark stripe on a donkey’s shoulder (good thing we have this word but ‘learn’ and ‘teach’ are the same word huh?)

Motërzohet-to pledge sisterhood to each other by drinking a drop or each other’s blood
