Fireworks follow up

The fireworks video was 44 seconds but as you see, all I can get loaded is 2 seconds!  It isn't quite the same!  Someday maybe we will figure it out.


We have been really busy with sick seniors coming and going to the hospital.  We are  blessed to have been able to make so many good contacts in the Medical Community.  It sure makes figuring out these situations easier. Our first contact, Dr. Lodoysamba, was the man Cal met on the plane when we were flying here.  He was obviously Mongolian but asked for an English paper so they struck up a conversation.  He referred us to his son-in-law, Dr. Enkhzorig, a traditional Doctor and former director of External Affairs at Hospital 1.  We have been able to make many more contacts following their advice.



This week we were able to take both of them and their wives out for dinner.  They chose the place and then helped us order so we had some really good Mongolian food and drinks.  They recommended anis juice (a red berry that sounds like it grows like huckleberries -(now I just asked one of our translators
 and when she looked it up in the dictionary it is cranberry!!  the drink was more pulpy than we would expect from cranberry juice)) and seabuck thorn berry juice (orange and sour but great with lots of sugar). They apparently grow on bigger trees with lots of thorns so they harvest them in the winter when it freezes and "rake" them like some of those people pick huckleberries down by Kalispell.)



This is a sample of the N95 masks (are made to filter out the smaller particles from the air) we have been giving to the missionaries to wear, especially at night in the Ger Districts when it is so smoky.  They are supposed to get new ones every two weeks and this is one that a missionary brought in today to trade for the new one beside it.

These are just four of the great ladies at the Choibalsan Branch last Sunday after Church.

Life is still Good and All is Well.
