"Beam Me Up, Scotty"

Hello friends and family,

Welcome to Sister Vestel's last email.

New things:

I am now in Darkhan serving with Sister Bean on a week-long exchange. I am not going to go into details about what happened. Just know I'm here and I'm proud to be here.

I absolutely adore Sister Bean, and am loving our last few days serving and meeting with members.

I am really sunburnt. I got a lot of sun this past Saturday, so I am treating my burns with lotion. Yayyyyyy!

Last email thoughts:

I love all of you so much!
And I love my mission so much. I am so happy that I was called to be here. My mission has definitely been a hard one. That's the truth. But I have made amazing friends that have supported me through my trials. I feel as though God has prepared the path that I need in order to be His messenger is not one that I would have made for myself. But I needed to grow. I needed to be uncomfortable.

I am excited to start my life after the mission, and hope that I will be able to look back on my mission with more and more fondness as the years return. But as of right now, a rest is needed.

I'm excited to see what adventure God has for me next.

For all that have followed me on this journey,
Thank you.

Love, Sister Vestel.

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...
