This week we had a closing ceremony at the Zunnmod Village . We
rebuilt their library for them. We were supposed to show up at 11:30 am.
They had a celebration all set up for us. The children sang several
songs, they danced, and recited poetry. The children were beautiful,
all dressed up and performing before us. There was one dance that was
facinating. A teenage girl, about 15, danced with 4 bowls stacked on
her head. As she moved around and about her head never moved and the
bowls did not fall off. Then she put one bowl in one hand and another in
the other hand and danced more, then she squatted down and put one bowl
on her foot and stretched about, then another bowl on the other foot
and stretched about, all this while there were two bowls still on her
head. Then another bowl came off her head into her hand and she moved
all about, then finally the four bowls went back on her head and the
dance ended, and then she poured the water out of the bowl that had
stayed on her head the whole time. Quite a show! After the ceremony
they feed us Hor Hog. It is a traditional Mongolian meal. Lots of meat,
potatoes, carrots, all cooked in one big pot. There were also lots of
salads on the side. So, we had a good week this week. We gave the
Michigan Test 3 times this week to young adults that are trying to go to
BYU-H. Usually only 1-2 pass out of 25. We are hoping for better
results this time.
