My week as been so fast!! I can't believe it's been another week! And now it's OCTOBER!!!
Last Monday was so fun! We went to the biggest black market in UB and got all the winter scarves and gloves and hats we needed! So fun! I should be set. Today we will buy the coats and boots. Then we Family home Evening with a member family. Funny story...we went to the distribution center (like a book store) to get the magazine with the article we wanted to share in the lesson. So I picked up the one with the right story in Mongolian. Then we got to the lesson and I asked the 16 year old to read it. He really struggled. That happens sometimes, but he was REALLY struggling. Then his sister helped him. It was all crazy and not understandable. But that also happens sometimes. Then, I said, "Do you want ME to try to read it?" The boy said, "I don't know..do you know Russian???" We all busted up laughing because it turns out the magazine was in Russian! Oops. They were champs and I tried to just tell the jist of the story the best I could. Hahaha
On Tuesday we taught English - it was so fun! We just talked to the students a lot and ended up talking to a few students in small groups. They all wanted to know the juicy details of my life. They love love. And they're all about 18 and so cute! They asked about my first date and if I went to prom. haha They're adorable! One girl doesn't know much English so she pulled out Google translate to tell me she likes my eyelashes!
On Wednesday Sister Harper came over for companion study. I loved it! She had amazing insights, and I am so glad she came over. I love her! Then we met with people the rest of the day. I love our people! We did service at one member's house - we scrubbed her ceiling. Good times! Everyone laughed at me because I was tall enough to wash them without a chair to stand on.
Thursday was also fun! We went out with our ward missionary after weekly planning. And I loved it! We taught each other songs. She taught us songs in Mongolian and we taught her English songs. Good times!
On Friday my investigator from Unur got baptized and I got to go! We also ate at KFC because we got there early. I was so happy for her!!! And I saw all of my Unur friends. I felt like I was home again! Also, we wanted to meet a new member, but after hours of trying to find her ger, we did and she had moved. Oh well. The baptism after that made it all worth it. I loved that evening.
Saturday was also a fun adventure! We had a meeting in the morning with a new member and then studied and then had a meeting for English. That was a blast! Thank you, Sutphins, for the cake!!! Then we met with a wonderful lady and her adorable kids! They sang us the ABCs! And then we ran back to the city center for district meeting. We got stuck in terrible traffic and we literally ran for about a bus stop length. I hate running....but oh well. District meeting was great!
On Sunday we had church and then met with our two investigator families. I love the people here! I'm so blessed to be here and and to be meeting these amazing people! I'm the luckiest girl in the world! I love you all!!
