Field Work (Literally)

Hello Everyone!
This week has been awesome. We have finished all the lessons for our two investigators and have set up their baptismal date for this Thursday. Needless to say, I'm super excited to dunk these kids. I feel like I've talked about them in the last email, but they really are amazing. The elders have also finally gotten permission for their investigator to get baptized.

A little context: the elders' investigator is named Bolor-Irden, and he had been an investigator for two long years. He has gone through the lessons multiple times, and he is just a spiritually filled kid. His parents would not let him get baptized, and finally, this past Saturday, the elders fully sent it and went over to their house to ask for permission, even beg if necessary. And the biggest miracle happened. His mom finally gave permission. Now he is going to be baptized with our two investigators. Elder Walker, who had been here for four transfers, shed a couple of tears when the mom finally said yes.

We also had a huge, spiritually filled testimony meeting with our one investigator when we went over for a meal with her family. We all shared baptismal experiences or experiences with our investigator. Even if I could not understand anything that was going on, I felt the Spirit really strongly.

I am so happy to have the gospel in my life, and I am happy to know that I am a daughter of God. I know you are all sons and daughters of a Heavenly King, and He wants us to be like Him one day. I am so proud of all the progress that you guys have made, and I'm so happy to be able to be on this amazing mission.

As the title suggests, we were also able to do some service for some members who own a farm. We spent all of Thursday weeding around carrots.

With love,
Sister Vestel

Douglas The Cricket

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...
