Time Flys

We had our English Conference this week.  We had 300 teachers, administrators, and government officials in attendance.  We had 4 professors from all the BYU schools as guest lecturers.  The conference took most of our week, then we took a quick trip to the Gobi Desert to investigate a water request, and then our wheelchair trainers arrived for the training this next week.  

Last Friday the wheelchairs arrived from China--we got 10 YSA Mongolians and 10 Missionaries to help unload them at 5:00 AM. It took about an hour and a half, then we took them to a late breakfast:)

We rode the train all night from the Gobi to UB.  We had a sleeping compartment and we were able to sleep most of the night.  The train made 30 stops during the night on its way to UB.  In the Gobi we were in the worst wind dust strorm we have ever experienced.  

Grandpa was interviewed 2 different times by the news media in conjunction with the English Conference.  Several people told us they saw him on TV.  They told him he looked a lot younger on TV than he does in real life:)  We will attach some pictures.  We have three more weeks and a lot to do.  It will be nice to get home and see everyone and take care of our place.
