Now up on the tops of most hills here are little cairns of rock piled up over the years or centuries. Many are believed to have bones of saints or something spiritual underneath it all the stones that have stacked up over time. Part of people's routine when they go up to visit an ovoo is to place another rock on them.
On top of the hill overlooking our house there is a special ovoo, that actually has a foundation about 3 feet high and some staves to hang scarfs and colorful objects or offerings.
Rocks have piled up so that when people place offerings now it's about 4 feet high. So when people were putting cookies and other edible stuff on the ovoo in offering to the spirits, how do you suppose my dog decided to join in the ceremony? Of course he started standing up on his hind legs and eating the cookies. So what does a good missionary man do in that case?

Good morning - at least here in the US. I am preparing for an AWM and was checking for prayer requests. Monroe Alliance Church, Monroe, MI has Lydia as our MK. We look forward to this relationship. Love your story about the dog! We'll be praying for you-Becky Benner
