The Siberian weather system continues to be a blessing for us in a strange way. It is too cold to go out walking and exploring which helps in the healing of my knee and the chance to fire up the scriptures to keep our testimonies burning. We had an interesting mix of Latin and Mongolian night at FHE with 22 (not including the 10 missionaries.) Our stake Saints Valentines Bal had a good attendance of YSA with two couples doing the half time entertainment with ballroom dance, One of the dances included a Mongolian investigator with an X BYU ballroom dance teamer- Gab!. Then we participated in the baptism of Angii (I Cant even type her real name on this keyboard - something like Ohoyhearalnnh - over half of those letters are upside down and backwards!) The most exciting news of all was our interview with our Mission Pres. He told us in four different ways what a Spectacular Job we are doing here! Then we discussed our release, as he and his wife will be released before us, And their secretary couple go home in a few weeks. We wanted to take advantage of their expertise in flight arrangements before they return to Utah, So, we now know that we officially only have 6 more months to go :( We are already missing many things, but also know that there are many of our loved ones that we haven't even seen and will be able to serve. And so it is with a heavy heart that, yes Jason, I get out my suit case and begin to figure out what is most important to bring home. Many of you may think is is trunk y, but no....I really need to start now so that I can again get rid of many important things that I know my mother would have wanted me to keep! At the end of the mission we will do some traveling up North to honor our families who were first inspired by the gospel message< who sacrificed their lives so that we could grow up in America with the Gospel in our homes. And, for this I am truly thankful. Happy Valentines day to you all
