All of the chatter about our Mongolian Fete has been positive, One of our YSA said it was best party she has ever been too.! And we have had many new Mongolian friends come to the Insitut and to church, Our dancers are so excited, they want to do the dance again. But, I may have danced my last for a while, .( Praying for the sanity necessary for me not to do anything for a while.) We are starting our Christmas celebration now. We found the mother lode of treasures this week and are so thankful for the fun adventure .We learned about.< Angelus of Millet>, a famous painting of two peasants gleaning the last of their potatoes ,stopping to pray to give thanks,, We bought a plate,... not the painting.. which should look good with our theme of Thanks in the dining room (if we ever get around to decorating again !) , The biggest action this week is the knee gving out 4 times on the stairs on tuesday, once one wednesday and then on thursday, it just popped, I was trying to move a large heavy table with the help of a two year old! I know, STUPID - then it popped .We await the next action after having xrays and MRI. The good news is,, I can straighten it and put weight on it after 4 days using the sticks (elbow crutches) Our friends here have been so nice to help with love and kindness,and food and DVD"s (you cant keep a good horse down) The timing is good as we ponder our lesson this week about being the Savior's hands in serving others. So often we serve but never allow others to serve us.The other part of the lesson this week reminded me of my father Gordon, who always said he was a Jack Mormon because he never wanted to be a hypocrite! At the beginning of this season we are both thankful for the example our parents gave to us in the importance of serving others.We love the gospel and need your prayers as we conquer this latest challenge to continue our mission here in the Geneva area.. We love you and miss you.:)
