Cold Cold Cold

It turned cold again, just like it does at home.  It is just colder than home--winter coats, scarfs and hats.  Dad would love it in Mongolia and so would you.  He would have loved it because you can build anything you want, any way you want, and you can scrounge and get most things very cheap.  You would love it because you can get all kinds of cloth, all colors, in large or small quantities, very cheap.  Our 600 wheelchairs arrived and cleared customs - clearing customs is a huge miracle.  We will unload them Monday and the wheelchair training team will arrive the 8th of May.  I think I told you about a family that had a fire in their geir; one daughter died and the other one was severly burned.  The churrch is flying her to Minnisota to undergo some special surgeries.  They could not get a notary to sign the authorization; they tried three.  We had made friends with a notory because we do so many contracts.  I thought she would help us and sure enough she signed the documents when I explained the little girl was a member of our church and needed special care that was not availble in Mongolia.  So, this little girl will be on her way to the states very quickly.  The church is amazing, the way it helps so many people in need.  We feel blessed to have a small part in the huge wonderful effort.
