Christmas Day in UB

Well, not actually but it felt like it for us since we received our bags today! Praise the Lord. Well, we heard they had come yesterday but because the airport crew was done for the day we couldn't get them, I think it was about 4 o'clock or so. They are crazy here, the Mongolians kind of do whatever they please. It's awesome. So yesterday, we figured out our cancellation problem. We will come home two days early and won't have to stay long in Beijing, which is great...we hope at least, it is a 3 hour layover so pray everything goes well. We met some nice people that work at the JCS office here, they have opened their homes to us and today one couple brought us to a really tiny restaurant for real Mongolian food, our first and very greasy.

So we are heading to Erdenet tonight on the train, we leave at 8:30 and will get there sometime in the morning, we are all very excited to get there and start doing things. It will be an interesting time on the train for sure. We have been learning a lot about the Mongolian culture also which is really special. So for now, we are doing wonderful and so thankful things are falling into place. Take care and we will talk to you soon!
