I saw Russia...

Helllllooooooooo! Well, I'm happy because we finally found an internet place that is open. I guess no one told us it was "every-internet-place-is-closed day"... but it sure is! :) So I just got back from looking at Russia. Yeah, we went to this littlel ook-out place and, you guessed it, looked at Russia! Funny, it looks a lot like Mongolia, only on the other side of the river... It was pretty fun though, the weather was nice, not to hot, not to cold, reaaaaalllly windy,but not the crazy dirt-filled wind. So that was nice, then we all had a picnic, only we were all to big of sissies to have a real picnic outside inthe wind and "nature" so we all went to the Couple's house and sat on the floor and ate. :) This week has been a little crazy. There's an outbreak of Typhoid here and so any children under the age of 16 are not allowed to group together in any sort of gathering. So the schools and mostly closed and we don't have a lot of the activities at the church. Everyone's hoping the whole sickness thing passes quickly, it's not too fun and everyone is being super careful. I'm getting more and more used to Selenge. It's a beautiful place and the branch here is really great. I think the hardest thing is still just the food situation... it's kind of the same as it was in Choibalsan. But it's different from Choibalsan cause we get bananas shipped here from Russia,(you know, the place that i saw today...) Yeah, so it's good and it's getting GREENER!!! that makes me happy indeed! The mosquitoes are out. Selenge is actually famous for it's many many mosquitoes, (since it's by a big river and such.) And the mosquitoes are out now, however, nobody knows that but me! But that is just because no one has been bitten yet... I, on the other hand, have 12 bites JUST on my ankles. Iknow, go figure. But it's all good, it just means, i don't know, my blood is nice...yeeeessssss. This week we spent a lot of time trying to find new people to teach. So far it's been a bit slow, but we will keep trying. We have one young lady we have been teaching for the past little while that is getting baptized on Saturday! So that is really exciting. :) She have been going to Church on and off for about 3 years, but hasn't had the desire to actually learn mor eabout it until now. It has been so great to see her change in just the short amount of time i have been here. I think the biggest change has been her view of who God really is- she had this idea that He was an angry god who wants to punish us because we're not perfect, which is completely not true.It has been so wonderful to be able to explain how much God truly loves us and that He wants to help us every single day.Well since it took us so long to find internet today my time is just aboutup. I must say it was soooooo wonderful to be able to talk to my family lastweek! i miss you all bunches, I'm so happy to know you are all doing well and being happy happy.
