Thankfulness

In this very busy time for us ( tonight we sing for Stake conference with Seventy Rep- Elder Texiera ) I pause from all the preparation. For next week,s Mongolian fete and the organization for tonight and give thanks. Thanks for the great visit we had at the Mongolian Embassy. We went there inviting them to come to our celebration ( yes, I know, why would they want to celebrate their Independence Day with us! ) At first, we were not well received but by the time we left , they were asking us to help them with finding someone to help a Mongolian girl with translation while attending school here. and telling us about some of their actvities and a big national flag and magasins!. So we now have a part time job to offer one of our Mongolian YSA. Another job offer came to us for an Au pair -80E a week Part of our calling here is helping with housing, jobs and of course the GOSPEL of LOVE. Again I mention the thankfulness for teaching the New Testament, as I am forced to really study the life of Christ and apply his teachings AND make it meaningful for those that travel great distances in the evening to share in our lessons. Most of our YSA travel in public transport- tram and bus , with transfers and at least an hour travel time. This week I am including a district photo, more Monoglian photos, choir practice.. and notice....no extra travel and visits.. so,.. I am thankful that this stress will be over soon.... and we can prepare for NOEL and NEW Year .....and welcoming Erik into the Mercado home :)
