A Whole Lot Of Conference

Hello Everyone, I hope you had a great week!

We had a HUGE dust storm last p-day and it was so crazy.

This p-day we took advantage of the warm weather and went thrift shopping. I hope the warm weather stays.

Yesterday night there was a huge fire in Murun. Our elder's new member, Sod Erdene, sent us a video since our apartment was facing the other way. I sincerely hope no one got hurt.

Other than the fire and sandstorm, this week was pretty good. Except for the fact that my investigator is having some health challenges due to stress. She also informed us that she might not be able to get baptized due to her parents' mistrust in our church. That was not a happy moment.

Please pray for her parents to have a change of heart. Her name is Oyun Bolor, sounds like (oi-youn bothor).

One cool quote I want to share with everyone comes from Elder Gong's talk.

"This world tells us we are too tall, too short, too wide, too narrow—not smart, pretty, or spiritual enough. Through spiritual transformation in Jesus Christ, we can escape debilitating perfectionism." - Gerrit W. Gong

I am starting to see and reap the blessings from trials of transfers past.

I love you all and can't wait to see you!

Love,
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...
