Zone Conference And One Year

Hey everyone,
Last week I hit one year since I came to Mongolia. It was a good reflection point of spiritual and language growth while living in Mongolia.

Last week was pretty awesome.
We had zone conference in Darkhan. We had to take 2 different taxis with just over 9 hours total of on-the-road time. But zone conference was awesome.
My district meets over Messenger calls once a week, so it was nice to see everyone in person!

For Easter Sunday, all the missionaries sang the hymn "There Is a Green Hill Far Away" in the middle of our church service.
It was a beautiful song to commemorate the Easter season.

This week we had an awesome exchange with our STLs Sister Brouse and Sister Taylor. We got our maps all organized and figured out how to check the different horoos (kind of like districts but a lot smaller).

Our Elders baptized 4 people this past Saturday. It was awesome.

This week we have transfers. I'm hoping that I'll get to train again or stay with Sister Wilson. But I definitely want to stay in Murun.

That's all for this week.

I'll leave you all off with a cool thought.

In order to live with God again, we need to become perfect. However, there is not a perfect person on Earth today. So if we are supposed to be perfect but cannot possibly achieve that, how do we live with God again? He wants us to live with Him, like all parents want to see their children again.
The answer is through Jesus Christ. He took all of our wrongdoings, our pains, our afflictions, and most importantly our sins. Now, because we have had our sins taken from us, we only need to repent to become clean.

I want to testify that Jesus Christ is the eternal Dawn dish soap for our souls. We only need to repent and turn towards Him again.

That's all for this week,
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...
