00:00:00.000 Hello. As 2018 comes to a close and we gather together with families,
00:00:08.880 kindreds, and friends to celebrate Yule, I just wanted to reach out and speak to my AFA family.
00:00:15.420 Thank you all for an absolutely amazing 2018. As far as I know, this is the best year the
00:00:22.960 AFA has ever had. We've seen the AFA grow and develop, not just across the United States,
00:00:31.320 but around the globe. We've watched Sweden just blossom with members. Now, three kindreds
00:00:38.640 in Sweden. We've got AFA members in 13 countries, and we've got kindreds developing
00:00:46.680 all around the world. I mentioned those in Sweden. We have a kindred in New Zealand.
00:00:52.040 We have kindreds forming in Canada and throughout the United States, and it's been truly beautiful
00:00:58.740 to see.
00:01:00.760 The AFA has never had so many members, but more importantly, we've never had a more
00:01:05.760 active membership.
00:01:07.600 We've got gatherings all across the country.
00:01:11.500 We're having individuals gather and honor our gods and celebrate our folk all around
00:01:16.760 the world.
00:01:18.860 We've almost paid off Odenseff.
00:01:21.380 We're at the cusp of paying off a 30-year mortgage in just four years to have a half of our very own.
00:01:28.140 We are winning across the board.
00:01:30.880 And I'm truly blessed to be able to be a part of that and watch this happen.
00:01:38.880 And I realize that none of that's possible without you guys.
00:01:43.680 Your support, your dedication, and your courage to come out and get together with other AFA members and to celebrate and participate in Ausitru has made all of this possible.
00:01:57.420 Thank you guys so very much.
00:01:59.720 We're set to have an amazing year in 2019, and I am looking forward to it.
00:02:05.060 Thank you for everything you do.
00:02:06.760 and to you, to yours, to your kindreds and your families,
00:02:11.600 I want to wish you all the very happiest of you.
00:02:14.240 Hail the gods, hail the folk, hail the AFA.
