This week we received 'Flat Nick', a school project of our grandson, Nick, who lives in Cedar City Utah.  We are helping with the project by taking Flat Nick to do some things here in Mongolia.  Here he is with me outside the mission office building.  We did things like work in our office, go to the park, and play ping pong.  Now we need to send him back home.

 Then on Thursday I finally got up the courage to go have my hair cut at a salon.  I had the top guy do it and it was wonderful.  For about $18, he cut my hair, shampooed it before cutting and then after to remove the cut hair, blow dried it and also massaged my scalp and neck!!  I wish I could bring him home with me when we go.
Yesterday Elder Shrope helped the district train all the young men leaders in the district.  Bat-Orgil translated and helped with the training.  I just baked blond brownies and served them to the brethren along with some juice.  Each couple was assigned an auxilary to assist with the training.

Today on the way home from attending church in Nalaikh the wind was really blowing strong.  It was blowing the snow from the fields across the roads.  It was not snowing but with the winding blowing the snow around so fiercely, at times it made the traffic on the road hard to see.  But we made it safely through and fortunately only saw one car that had been in an accident!  But that wind is soooooo cold!!!  We will be glad to see warm weather arrive.
