Hello devoted fans and followers!
Today is our third day in the glorious land of Erdenet, where you can see the sky, this is the very place where dreams are made. On our first day here in Erdenet, we got the chance to go to Eagle school where we helped out in an English lesson. Each of us got a group of 2 or 3 students, and they had to interview us in English and then stand up and intoduce us to the class. It was top notch! It was a really great experience working with the children, we even got to hear them sing their national anthem! Delightful. Erik is a superstar over here. I can't even count the amount of times that people will point and "ooh" and "ahh" at the massive height that is Erik. Every time that we go to the market, the locals will whip out their cell phones and line up to have their pictures taken with him. It keeps the rest of us wildly entertained. Yesterday, we went to youth church, where we performed a skit, and then tried to teach the chorus of "Hosanna" in English. We also sang "Blessed be your name" because they all knew it in Mongolian at well. It was such an awesome thing to be singing the same song together, but in different languages. Well, this is the extent of our adventures thus far, but this week we have a pretty busy schedule, so I'm sure that there shall be many more stories to come! We're hoping to go out to the countryside and the ger districts at some point, which we are all eagerly looking forward to.
Thank you all for all your prayers and support. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you, and this experience has already been such a blessing.
Until next time....

Hey guys - you have a stellar blog writer - who is it?
Singing the same worship songs together in different languages is one of my favorite things to do - a mini-sampling of heaven?!
So glad you got to experience that!

Great to hear from you again! I laughed till I cried, reading about Erik! Can you send a postcard from there? Any Mongolian nativity sets?

Hey, What a TEAM! You are survivors, from lost luggage, straight into teaching. It all sounds so exciting. You are a blessing to those kids, and a blessing to us as we read about how God is using you.
