All good things must come to an end...

Greetings again dear fans!
Today is our last day here in Erdenet. In a mere 4 hours, we shall be collecting our valuable belongings (our belongings seem to have grown and doubled in weight... How very odd) and head on up to UB. UB, by the way, is the cool way to say Ulaan Baatar, just in case you were wondering how to be cool, saying "UB" is a surefire way. Our time here has been absolutely fantastic. We have had so many great experiences. All of our preconcieved notions of Mongolia have been put to shame. This experience has been so much grander than any of us ever could have imagined. We have been so blessed to be working with Jonny and Marina. They are the peachiest, keenest people, and we owe them so much thanks. Everyone say thank you to Jonny and Marina! We like them, we think you would like them too.
So let me fill you in on some of the experiences...
We have been able to go to three different Mongolian churches, and all of them have been completely different! Mongolian worship is exhilerating to watch, they pour their whole heart and soul into it. They are a people who, when they believe, are extremely dedicated and on fire for God. We have also grown used to seeing random wildlife all about the city, there is a cow roaming about outside the internet cafe as I speak. There are wild dogs everywhere, and we have the great honor of being here during their dog extermination season. Not even a week ago, we were walking back to our apartment, and were startled by this horrendously loud gunshot! We spun around, and not 100 yards from us, a man was walking away from the corner of a schoolyard with his rifle, and a dog lay a couple of feet behind him. That one was a shocker.
There is no way to starve while you are in Mongolia. Every time that we visit a Mongolian family in their home, they immediatly put on food. Food such as mutton, meat dumplings and milk tea. Lovely, lovely! Mongolians get 100 points for hospitality! Oh yes! Here is a piece of exciting news, we have all had a taste of a famous Mongolian drink called "fermented horse milk". What an experience that was! It is off season right now, they always make it in the summer, so it was very strong. I must say that I have never tasted anything like it! That was a swell time. Hmmm, anything else that I can tell you??? We love Mongolia. It has been well worth it. We have enjoyed every minute of it. We love all the people we have met, and it has been such a powerful thing to see how God is working in Mongolia.
So thank you everyone again for all your prayers and support! We look forward to seeing you soon, so we can share our adventures and experiences with you all!
God Bless
