We finished our two week survival course in Mongolian language. Renee is a superb student. Gold star time, for sure. Our final day, we went out with two teachers. They took us to a carpenter's shop and we bought a tiny little stool for lydia. Then we asked for something else, and she said she'd have to come to our house to take measurements. So we practiced giving our address and phone number, all in Mongolian.
Friday night we had extra spaghetti with the meat from the market that Renee ground a few nights before. So we had company for dinner. We really enjoy our friends who have been here for two years with CAMA. Maggie and Lydia play with their two boys who are 5 and 2.
Saturday night we went out for a meal while our friends watched our girls. It felt great. Except a few hours later, Renee started feeling sick and has been down most of today, Sunday. I think she's feeling better now. But she's had stomach sickness a few times now...
We're gaining on the unpack/setup process. It feels good to settle. We're getting more furniture all the time. Had a potluck dinner tonight with the rest of the mission family here. There was ateam of doctors from LA with us. They go to another town tomorrow w/ their travelling clinic.
All for now. JB
