Miracles And Expensive Puppies
Hello Everyone!
This week has been pretty good. With all the kids out of school and the beautiful summer weather, all the city dwellers have gone out to the countryside. Those who are still in the city (RIP) are working double time to make a few extra dollars as the foreigners come to visit. While I'm getting depressed about the lack of meetings, I can still enjoy the land of the blue sky (Mongolia's nickname). But seriously though, we haven't had a meeting since last Tuesday. We have had a lot of downtime to focus on passing out English cards and sending lots of spiritual thoughts out.
One of the coolest miracles that I have seen this past week was our interactions with our elders. We share the Selbe ward with two elders and got them some little drinks and candy because we felt like doing something nice. Then, in retaliation, they made us хуушуур (hosher) (a fried meat pocket). The night they gave us хуушуур we had no water, so we could not make food for dinner. But we had хуушуур. Then, a few days after, we gave the elders a huge thing of apple juice. They were fasting the Sunday after, and Elder Reynolds had his blood sugar drop really low. He felt like he was going to pass out when he remembered the huge thing of apple juice we gave him. So, while we might not have many meetings lined up this week, we have certainly seen miracles.
We see a lot of stray dogs in Mongolia that would be really expensive in America, so enjoy this picture of Elder Reynolds petting a dog that looks exactly like him (in my opinion).
With Love,
