Liver On A Prayer

Hey everyone,
This week was crazy and I am too lazy to write out everything I want to, so I'll just go through the highlights.

We went to visit a member, but we're lowkey terrified by the guard dogs and all the strays that were chasing us. We carried huge rocks to defend ourselves.

We had the amazing opportunity to tour the hospital we teach out of, and we were able to watch a liver surgery. It was so cool!

We met a lady outside our apartment who asked about the church as soon as she saw us. She wants to come on Sunday.

This Sunday I am going to give my first talk in Mongolian. Please pray for me. I'm scared.

I'm in another trio for this transfer. My companions are Sister Udall and Sister Tsolmon (a Mongolian sister who is waiting for her visa before going to America).

We taught some of the most spiritual new member lessons this week. Some of these lessons will stay with me.

We had an English student who kept calling Thailand, "Thigh-land," and it was hilarious.

I love you all. Have a good week!

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...
