Happy Easter!

It's kind of weird that I didn't know it was Easter this Sunday until I got your emails talking about it.... they don't really celebrate it here and that holiday is always changing days and such, so I had no idea. But now that I know, I want you all to make a point of eating a multi-colored egg salad sandwhich in memory of me. And I, in turn, will eat a multi-colored.... sheeeep...er... I don't know... something cool. :)

Hey, so last week we went to the gok/copper mine and that was pretty cool. I'll have to send some pictures soon... but probably not this week cause I am actually in Darkhan right now. Yeah, that's right, I'm here again for Zone Conference and that means we once again got off the midnight train last night and will be leaving on the 2 am one tomorrow. Hopefully we are lucky enough to find the right one again... but nobody knoooowwwss! Last week was pretty great. The baptism was wonderful and she was so happy. I can't really describe it all, but basically it was just great! She bore her testimony and the Spirit was so strong and you could hear all the sniffles from the people there... it was so cute. She's wonderful. And last week we were also able to contact a bunch of new people. Hoy, this is funny, we were looking for an address and had just come around a corner when we saw this cute little grandma pushing her water cart back to her ger, just then this man came and took it from her to help her... and I shouted, "Hoy! Ter hulgison shuu!" or... "what the? he totally stole that!" Then the old lady and man laughed pretty hard, cause that's kind of a weird thing for a crazy American to say, and then we had a nice talk and invited them to Church. Oh, and guess what, I made rice pudding this week. I know, I'm just a cook these days... first french toast, then grilled cheese sandwhiches...So we had a bit of an adventure this week that involved three very angry dogs... two taxi drivers with three very large rocks.... and a small gathering of drunk men... all within the same hour... hee hee... I'll haveto give some details of that later, but let's just say that even when crazy things happen I am not worried because I know we are being watched over. :)

Well I love you all and have a Happy Easter OK? OK!!!

My love Always,
