Pick them like you mean it

This week we started doing more English because the couple that is doing English now is leaving shortly.  We participated in training young missionaries in their English teaching assignments and we visited some English classes taught at some high schools.  One set of sister missionaries teaches 12 classes in two days and they have 240 students.  It is tough! They do not know most of the names of the students because they cannot pronounce them.  

A member that is participating in our gardening project showed up to pick up the gardening supplies for the American Denj Branch.  He was walking and had several miles to go.  He took a 55 gallon barrel, 2-50' hoses, 2 shovels, 1 rake, seeds, plastic for a greenhouse, and two water carts. ( I might add that dad helped him load it up and that helped a lot!)  It was a sight to see.  He said no worries, he would get it home!  Life is always interesting here.  We are working on three water stations right now--they will provide water for 600-1200 families.  We are doing good.  Trying to bless people's lives.

We got a skiff of snow last night but it's gone now:) Yeah! Not that I don't like snow, but I'm so ready for some warm weather!

This mission is so different from our last one, in that we aren't very immersed in the Gospel every day.  So, it's nice to have a District Mtg here at our apt every Friday--it reminds us of our real purpose--bring real, lasting happiness to Heavenly Father's children here in Mongolia.
