Even though school is out, we still go four days a week and teach English to the director. She would have us teach her seven days a week if she could. This Saturday we held a career workshop during the return MTC. They have those to help returning missionaries prepare for the next stage of their lives. This group is showing the certificates we gave them for completing the workshop. Here in Mongolia, there are always more Sister missionaries than Elders. Of course there are more women members than men in all the wards and branches.
Here Sister Shrope is with Enkhmuren, a young lady from Nalaikh where we attend church. She never sees Sister Shrope that she doesn't give her a hug and says, "I love you." This is how most of the people here are, very loving. She was the young lady that was in the choir that sang for Elder Holland's visit.
And this is the 2nd Councilor in the branch presidency, Ebo's little girl. She was shy and would not look at us until Sister Shrope got out the camera. She would look at the camera and then wanted to see her picture. Maybe one day she will warm up to us.
And this is little Munkh-Nils, Miigaa's baby son. His Dad made pizzas for us to feed those returned missionaries for lunch during the workshop, and his dad brought him when he delivered them. Munkh let me hold him and even give him a bottle of water while dad was fixing his formula. This was after he had a nap and he was in a happy mood. He laughed at Elder Shrope's faces and noises he made. And then he gave me those baby kisses that I miss getting from my grandbabies. My computer had developed a problem so except helping to set up for the workshop, and helping a young sister with her translation of a conversation into English, I had nothing more important to do that afternoon than help take care of this darling little guy.
Hello Bro and Sis Shrope,
