Monday we held a Book of Mormon jeopardy night with our family home evening group in Nalaikh.  It was on the first five books.  They had studied and did really well.  In three weeks they want to do the next four or five books.

On Wednesday our new senior couple arrived.  They are Elder and Sister Hunt from the Salt Lake area.  They will be working in the PEF and so that means they will be working with us.  We are so excited to no longer being the only couple in the basement of the mission office building again.  We have have been done there alone since the Clarks went home in July.  Of course we are never really alone down there.  It is also office to Miigaa, our translator/secretary, Batsengel in the BYUH online computer lab, President Odgerel who is over Seminary and Institute, and his secretary, Bolormaa.

On Thursday evening and Friday morning we taught this group of missionaries the 6 temple preparation classes.  Eeggy, in the middle on the back row, translated for us.  She also goes to the Missionary training center with them to translate and help them.  Friday afternoon five of them left for the MTC in Manila and will serve here in Mongolia.  The others are going to the MTC in Provo and will serve in the US and Canada.

Today we did not have a car to drive to Nalaikh for church so we tried to take the bus.  We waited for 45 minutes in -9 degree weather but no bus to Nalaikh came.  When our cheeks felt frozen, our fingers were stinging, and our toes were numb, we gave up and went to church in the Sansar branch that meets in the mission building.  Don't know what we are going to do when it really gets cold here!!  But it will work out.
