Sick

Hello Everyone!

This week I was sick. Not fun.

I'm extremely grateful that our elders and the new Darkhan sisters were able to cover for our English class at the college.

We had an exchange this week with the new Darkhan sisters, and I was able to go with Sister Wheatly. We taught their investigator the plan of salvation, and we were able to help with mutual as well. It was a fashion show, and before y'all ask, yes, I was asked to walk in it hair flip, but I was unfortunately not chosen as Mongolia's top model.

Today I finally got my snow boots! They are made of horsehair, and I would like to assume that they also give me a 20% increase in speed because they are made out of horses. But we will have to see about that.

We are planning on having a super spooky mutual this Sunday with lots of costumes, games, and sweet treats. I am really excited for that.

I love you all,
Sister Vestel

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...
