Well today was district conference(like stake conference at home).  Last night was the adult session and we spoke on family councils.  Elder and Sister Hunt spoke on Bishop's youth council, and President and Sister Clark spoke on branch(ward) council.  It was a great evening.  Then today at the general session, Elder Shrope was sustained not only as the executive secretary in the mission presidency, which he has been for almost a year now, but also as a district councilor which is the same as being on the stake high council back home.  He is assigned to the Nalaikh branch where we attend church.  Here in Mongolia it is nothing to have two or more callings at the same time.  And he is already doing some of the things he has been called to do in the branch already.

On Friday and Saturday morning, we had temple prep classes for four missionaries leaving this coming Thursday for the MTC in Manila.  One of the young ladies was not here for the picture.  We usually teach the classes the two days before they leave, but since Elder and Sister Grow of the Seventy will be here starting tomorrow and all mission conference starts on Tuesday, we had to do it early this time.  Oktober was our translator.  She is a sweet young lady that works as translator in the English department of the building for Elder and Sister Gledhill.  She comes down during her lunch to talk to us about her dating and about possible schooling.  She served her mission in Australia and we just love her.
