Last One Fast One

Hello Everyone!
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and summer is in full swing here in Murun.

Oops, I guess I ruined the surprise.

For my last transfer, I am staying in Murun with my companion Sister Horne! Exactly what I wanted.

I'm careful about saying what I want or what I think will happen for transfers—mostly for my own self-preservation, but also to not set up expectations. But last transfer, I flat out told Sister Horne that my last transfer dream would be to stay together in Murun.

She, of course, said the same thing. We have grown so close together, and we honestly work so well together. Not to mention we have so much in common with all the places we have lived, our music tastes, and our general views on gospel principles.

Anyways, I'm getting on a rant 

This week was awesome! We had such an eventful few days over the transfer day and the travel day. One day we texted over 40 grey dots for contacting, and three people texted back that they were interested!
It was so cool! We are now doing online lessons with two people who were previous grey dots.

This week was so busy with online appointments and member meals! We honestly have been so blessed with the ward’s invitations to us.

This transfer is my last one! Only six weeks left, and I'm so excited to see my family again.
However, I also realize that with every day that goes by, I have less and less time to do missionary work here in Mongolia. So instead of looking at the countdown with a trunk vision, I am looking at it as a countdown timer on a challenge. I want to get as much done here as I can before my time is up. So don't worry friends, I am going out strong

D&C 89:18–21
18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones;
19 And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures;
20 And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.
21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

That's it for this email!

Douglas The Cricket

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...
