Prepared Missionaries

Hello friends!

This week has gone by really fast. Last Tuesday we found out we would be in a trio with Sister Curtis, Sister Sawyer, and myself. We then were a trio for a week when we found out another sister had to be in the city for health reasons. So now Sister Curtis and I have Sister Painter for our trio!

I also got my first Mongolian дээл (delth), which is a traditional outfit worn during Mongolian holidays or special events.

One of the coolest things happened this week. One of the referrals we called actually wanted to meet with us. And she is AMAZING! She has read the Bible (very rare for Mongolians). She really wants to join our church. She keeps all her commitments and she is coming to church regularly. I feel like she is a godsend, especially with how difficult this transfer has been. I love her so much. I know that she was prepared for us by the Lord. Quoting my mission president, "Prepared people will be sent to prepared missionaries." Obedience invites blessings. What more can I say?

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...
