 Here we are Friday in Nalaikh at this sister's baptism.  These are two of the Elders that taught her.  Hers was the second baptism in the branch this month.  Since we have been here, around 12 sisters have been baptized.  This sister is a nurse and works in the local hospital in Nalaikh.
 On Saturday we attended the wedding of a special young couple.  This is the wedding party in the chapel where they had the ceremony.  Tsoogii is a dear sweet friend who is the maid of honor. 
Then we went to the Chinggis Khaan hotel for the reception.  The bride and groom had changed into these traditional Mongolian wedding clothes.  We had a wonderful 4 course meal and much entertainment.  We were even pulled onto the dance floor by Tsoogii and participated in the group dance around the wedding couple.  The groom's mother danced with us and hugged us.  We had a great time.  A reception here kind of reminds me of the Polynesian ones back home only with different music, clothing, and dances but the same fun atmosphere.
