Baby Horse

Hello good people of Earth.
How is everything going?
Is everyone ready to hear about the adventures of Sister Vestel?

Great. This past week we had zone conference.

Wednesday –
Rode in two separate taxis for a total of 9 hours to get to Darkhan. It was quite awesome!

Thursday –
Sister Horne and I had such an amazing exchange with our STLs (Sister Bean and Taylor). Sister Bean and I walked a total of 14,000 steps address checking in Darkhan.
I absolutely love her. Being around her always reminds me of what I need to strive for in life. We ended up finding some root beer extract in their apartment and making root beer.

Friday –
AWESOME ZONE CONFERENCE. It was President Namgur’s last zone conference with us. But we had awesome talks about diligence, teaching with pictures, and a new set-up for first lessons! It was also so awesome to see my MTC group.

Saturday –
Travel back to Murun and doing a lot of contacting.

Sunday –
Children's Day. Celebrated here in Mongolia, Children's Day is one of the only holidays I wish America genuinely had.

Monday –
A bunch of lessons canceled, and so we contacted more and social media work close to done.

Tuesday –
We went and saw these really cool rocks that were made in the Bronze Age by really old Mongolians. They have deer, moon, and suns carved onto them. They also are really tall. We went with our dear friend Nomin and a LA who also works as a taxi driver!!! She's coming to church this Sunday!!! We also stopped by the Murun Airport and we got to see a baby horse! Like hours new!

And that was my week!

Enjoy the pictures!

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...
