Recognize me?

My glucose has been up and down and I don't think I have gained any
weight. However some things have changed.

Friends in the staff room

Here are three young ladies who served in the staff room at the school
where we held our workshop sessions. They furnished coffee and
cookies, kept the place clean and neat, and showed me where the
computer lab of the school was located. They are special friends who
I hope will get on facebook and keep in touch.

Guess What

I bet you can't guess what I have been doing in Mongolia. Here are a
couple of hints. After 2381 clicks and 8 sessions of WTB I am on my
way to Chula Vista, Hooray!!!

Second week in Mongolia

We finished the conference on Thursday and took the day off on Friday.
On our day off we went to the Russian border and to the valley where
Chingiss Khan recaptured his wife who had been kidnapped by his
enemies. They have a huge rock there as a marker. The first
conference was a great success, even though we had a hiccup in the
middle when the Education Superintendent felt we were being too
religious.

This conference got off to a great start with more participants than
the last group. My Walk Thru was enthusiastically received and I look
forward to three more good sessions. Here are some pics of me in
action, at the border and at the Chingiss Stone memorial.

Having fun in Suhkbaatar,

Sunday in Mongolia

It has been a good day. We met our interpreters and began to bond.
Mine is one of the best which is good and bad. Good that she is the
best but bad that she has to interpret for two other people.

I have some pics for you. Enjoy!

The young girl is our waitress at the hotel. Notice in lthe photo of
the Ger they have a dish outside. We may not have solid walls but we
do have our TV. I wonder if they are watching Dancing with the Stars.

You will recognize the sign outside the restrooms.

We crank it all up tomorrow so, again I implore you to pray.

Hanging in Suhkbaatar

We are still in the training mode. I have been drafted to become the
official photographer for the conference. I get to roam around and go
where ever I want. I also get to spend time playing with my computer
and it is officially OK.

We have found three internet cafes and we are out every after noon
explloring the city. Interesting time. I will meet my interpreter
tomorrow and we will begin to work on my Walk Thru the Bible
presentation. Then on Monday everything cranks up.

I love you all and really appreciate your Prayers.

Safely in Mongolia

I have arrived safely in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia. There were no
hitches and even though I was overwhelmed by the enormity of the
Beijing airport I find my team and all is well. Here are a couple of
photos for you to peruse. The young lady was the smiling face at our
hotel..
