No pictures this week.  We did not have internet in the office for a few days so not alot of work was done during that time.  But now the internet connections have all been upgraded in the building so we should have no more interruptions.
Last Sunday we were approached by a young couple as we were in the middle of crossing the street.  They were interested in learning about the Church.  We contacted the full time Elders and they set up a meeting for Tuesday evening.  We were to take part in the lesson.  Unfortunately the couple, T.J. and Zolo, did not come.  We were very disappointed but pray they will come by again so we can answer their questions.  But on Monday evening as we were heading home after returning from Family Home Evening, we were asked by Elder Jolley and his new companion to help them teach a new member discussion to a young lady that had been baptized on Friday.  That was neat!
It is getting colder and I have worn my heavy coat a couple of times when out at night.  Elder Shrope is still just in his suit jacket.  The Mongolian people think he is a little crazy because they are in coats and gloves!  But he thinks his coat is too hot to wear just yet.
We finished our eight weeks of Thursday night lessons to prepare those who want to take the Michigan test, an English proficiency exam.  Since most were pretty good at their English, we concentrated on helping them with testing hints and practices.  Now this week we will give them the exam and see how well they do.  They were a great class and I think some of them will pass the exam.
We have a busy week this week with teaching temple prep classes to a group of missionaries that will be leaving for the MTC in Manila, and also welcoming a new senior couple!
