Week 46

October 12, 2008

Aloha Family and friends,

All is well in Mongolia. It's funny I haven't had half as many people threaten to kill me since I've been with a Mongolian companion. This week was pretty good, but then again it was conference week, and conference week always seems to be good.

I had an investigator come back from the countryside and we finally got a chance to meet with her this last week. She's been investigating for over a year, but struggles with smoking and was having a hard time understanding the message we were sharing. This time it was different and I think everything is finally falling in place. The two investigators I had baptismal dates set for almost 2 months ago never made it, school started for one and the other just got back from the countryside after a month long sojourn, but I know that at least one of them knows it's true so I am hopeful. The area was re-divided a week or so ago and it's opened up a whole lot more possibility, but I haven't really had time to work the area lately because of a busy English schedule.

I'm getting better at teaching English, but it's still exhausting. I'm learning to have fun with it though, playing silly games. This last week we played "Do you love your neighbor?". It involves everyone sitting in a circle of chairs with one person in the middle. The person in the middle asks one of the people in the circle if they love their neighbor if they say yes the two people sitting on either side of the questioned person have to switch seats. If they say no then they have to say what kind of people they love and everyone fitting the description has to swap seats i.e. people wearing black. The class really seemed to enjoy it. If anyone has any good games I can play in English send them my way.

Not much more to report really. One correction, I said I bought a 16oz jar of peanut butter for 12$'s last week, I was mistaken it was really a 48oz jar, just thought you would like to know.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, transfers are coming up soon and it looks like I'll get a change of scenery. Keeping my fingers crossed.
