Now We Are Cooking!

Hi all!


Sorry for last week's lousy title; I completely forgot to put one in! Last Saturday, the Mongolian district finally got their visas and left for Mongolia! It's funny to think that I will also be joining them in just five short weeks. Until then, I need to double down on my language learning efforts.


On the bright side, we got to hear Quentin L. Cook give a really good devotional on Tuesday about the Book of Mormon and developing your testimony.


This morning, we woke up to the John Cena theme song thanks to Sister Taylor. Needless to say, it gave me a heart attack. Today, we went to the City Center temple to do endowments, and we had an amazing time! The temple grounds are so beautiful, and it was really peaceful.


Apparently, all the sisters in my district believe in Bigfoot and that Abel was turned into Bigfoot as a curse. I don't believe in Bigfoot, but it is interesting to hear others' views. (Cough cough, even if they are wrong.)


Anyways, thank you for listening this week.


Баяртай, Vestel Эгч

Hello All! I am happy to say that I am doing well at the MTC! I am starting to love the language and am trying to open up to my companion more. We had several interesting things happen this week so I'll try to keep the email short (no promises). For the past week, we have had an annoying cricket noise in our room. We checked the vents, we checked in the closets and under the bed. And then Sister Kayner checked her luggage in a last-ditch attempt to find the cricket, and voila, Douglas the cricket was found. It was a little prank toy that was set up by her family. They hid it in the lining of her suitcase, so we finally found Douglas. Last week we found out that we cannot share or post photos of us with missionary tags or refer to ourselves as missionaries to anyone in Mongolia. If we do, then we could get deported, and our district would get in trouble for going against Mongolian law. Yay. I also cannot wear my tag unless it is at home or during a zone conference. But it's okay...

Hello Everyone, this week we had zone conference, so I thought the title was appropriate. We left for Darkhan on Sunday and had our interviews with our Mission president Sunday night! It was so awesome. Definitely my best president interview yet! We stayed over with our STLs and then had Zone conference the next day. This was my last zone conference, so I was able to bear my testimony in front of everyone in my zone. I wish I could have spoken more completely or more eloquently, but I think my message came through clear enough. I was also so lucky to hear from three of the other sisters who are leaving with me. After zone conference, we drove to Erdenet and crashed with the sisters there, and on Tuesday we finally made it home. Today is the start of the summer festival here in Murun and all over Mongolia! Everyone gets dressed up in their traditional clothes, goes to events such as horseracing and archery, and we are lucky enough to join the crowds. That's all for now, I love you a...
