Transition Days

The last couple days we haven't done too much we couldn't get bus tickets for Tuesday so on Tuesday we did some shopping in the morning which included going to Mary and Martha's which is a store which is all things hand crafted by people who JCS is helping out in their various projects. Like out of broken alcohol bottles they make angels to sell and it helps with a group of people who are alcholics or the ladies who are in streams in the desert make jewelry to sell there. It is a really cool store. Then we went to Mongolia grill for lunch and the chefs entertained us with there ability to juggle the cooking sticks. It was awesome. After lunch we got to tour an orphanage and play with the kids for a while. They were so joyful and we had a lot of fun playing with the babies, chasing after the little girl and praying for the child who was waiting for surgery. I wish we could have stayed longer but maybe we will get back there at the end of our trip. We finished the day with a spaghetti super at the Jacksons and a bible study in a small group on keeping the Sabbath day holy the third commandment. On Wednesday we got up early and took the bus here to Bayonhungor. It was eleven hours long, very bumpy and well my stomach didn't hold up for all of it. With about three hours to go I pucked which was the most eventful part of the day. It was sweet though Emily took really good care of me and Steve gave me a couple tic tacs after I was done. We did get here though at a decent time and except for that we have all been very very healthy. Today we have gotten settled here, got a tour, planned out the week and just had a Nice day to relax and get some extra sleep. We are ready to go to the country side tomorrow to stay in a Ger over night and meet the twelve Ywam students we will be working with next week. It will be a lot of fun.


Thank you once again for all your support and prayers
