This has been a busy week.  Wednesday six missionaries arrived from the States. 

 On Thursday we couples fed them lunch and then took them on a walk to Sukhbaatar Square so they could see a little of the city.  We had one Mongolian with who is waiting for his mission call.

 On Friday we taught the 7th temple class to the four missionaries that returned from the Manila MTC on Thursday night.  This is them with their trainers.  The Sister in the white blouse will be serving in Nalaikh where we go.

 Also on Friday we held the Reverse MTC for the missionaries going home.  We had 17 attend.  We did not have those who had returned earlier in the week from Japan, or the American Elder going home.  But it was a good group.

 In fact they were so much fun, we just had to take a funny picture. 
On Saturday we watched conference since it is shown a week later here.  That night we had our missionary fireside where 34 missionaries bore their testimonies--10 new ones beginning there missions and 24 finishing their missions and returning home.  It was a wonderful fireside and many great testimonies!

 Today we finished watching conference.  It was inspiring as always.  Between the two sessions we had a potluck lunch for all the English speaking missionaries.  It was our Easter meal so I made American potato salad and deviled eggs.  The missionaries really enjoy American food once in awhile!  After conference the district choir performed an Easter program.  This is the choir, pianist, and readers of the program.  It was beautiful and really helped it to feel like Easter here since Mongolians do not celebrate Easter.

This is three of the choir members that are from Nalaikh.  Enkhmuren, with the lighter brown hair, is one of our Mongolian daughters here.  They are all so loving and help fill the void of not being with our own children while we are here.
