This is Batsetseg, her husband and their little daughter.  We were invited along with the other couples and some of the office people to celebrate the little one's first birthday.  It was at a very nice restaurant called Inner Mongolia.  Batsetseg is the mission's financial clerk and she also translates for us when we teach the temple classes to the newly called Mongolian missionaries.

 The restaurant had some wonderful food and the birthday cake was delicious too!

 On Friday we traveled to Nalaikh for a baptism.  It was our first experience travelling by bus.  The busses to Nalaikh were so overcrowded we could not even get in the door, so we took a shorter bus to a stop where we then got a taxi to Nalaikh.  But it was worth it.  It was a special baptism.  This sister cannot walk hardly at all and was afraid they would not be able to get her down into font.  But the two fulltime Elders and a returned missionary gave her the support she needed and she was baptized.  She was so happy, as were we all!  What a wonderful evening!!

On Saturday morning we heald another reverse MTC for seven missionaries who had finished their missions and were heading home.  We also had a couple of sister missionaries that are not going home but were with their companion who was or were signing for the sister who is deaf.  We love these classes with the missionaries.  They are such fun and ready to participate openly in the class.  We pray they will continue to have that strong Spirit about them as they start the next phase of their lives.
