Bayarlaa (Thank You)!!
I want to thank you for your prayers thus far... I can truly feel your
prayers for this team and the events of our day!
We made it through one whole week and it's been exciting yet draining
- physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally... but the students
have really been warming up to us and our daily encounters have been
sweet. As I hear the team members share each day, I am encouraged and
overjoyed to see such strong fellowship. It's amazing the amount that
these students go through, and the depth at which they are willing to
share with us. I look forward to going into more detail later.. right
now there's not enough time to do them justice.
As an overview, here are some highlights from the week:
- FCS adopted a puppy for a day - actually she was found outside the
center, all alone, so at the end of the day she went home with a
student (she was only one week old! sooooo cute)
- visit to the "mountain" with our students - Russian monument built
for the Mongolians at the top of a hill, outside of the city... we
climbed 700+ steps to catch the beautiful view and pray together for
the city!
- 4th of July party on Friday for the students - share some culture,
make some burgers (a real treat for the American teachers as well as
the students!)
- visit to the countryside - games and awesome fellowship time with
the students, hike to the top of another mountain (ok, maybe more like
a really really tall hill, but with rocks.. so does that count as a
mountain?)... another beautiful view!
- overnight stay in a 'ger' - will have to show you the pictures to
explain it properly...
- sharing worship time with Mongolians at a church service
Prayer requests:
- renewed energy for ALL - as the week progresses, our energy and the
students' energy is tested... this causes students to arrive later,
classes to start later, etc.
- this coming week - please pray for our packed schedule of events
- health - some getting better, but still others getting sick
- spiritual wellness - that we're all finding time in the busy and
tiring day to reflect on what the Lord is doing
- J-O-Y in our hearts!!
Thanks again!!
