Here she is with her friends and cast members during rehearsal.

Here she sings a number as part of a chorus.

Enjoying a celebration special smoking meal at a local Asian restaurant.  

With her sister Clara and mother Renee who surprised her to see the performances!

Winter Sunday Drive to Terelj National Park

Sunday we drove out on improved roads 2 hours to the National Park with our friends, whose daughters attend school with Clara.

We were looking at places for our summer meeting with missionaries and our sending church Westgate Chapel who are coming from Toledo, Ohio.

The kids enjoyed some sledding up next to those rocky mountains.

And this place had a porch swing and ice rink!

The cold was as striking as the scenery. 

But the kids stayed warm skating while the parents were warmed by the sun.  

It was a great day!

Winter Outdoor Activities

Josiah feeds bread to the pigeons outside our apartments. 

 Sledding with Clara at a camp by called "Chinggis Hurray" by the airport in UB

 Playing on the creek ice up the Nukht valley.

Josiah stands on a petrified log at tourist camp after sledding.

It's warming up outside now in February.  I think I saw if hit 31 degrees Fahrenheit already one sunny day.  

Winter Home Scenes

After getting our furniture from Darhan in January, it was time for house warming!

Our teammate's birthday was February 1st, so Renee made pies for her.  Here is Ruth and her son Angel as she blows out the candles. We all played "Guestures".  I wish I had pictures of that 'charades'-type game.  It was a good time.  

Josiah has more time for Lego projects now that school is canceled for more than a month!

But it also means more time at the kitchen table with his mom in charge of his home schooling.  Clara is able to do hers more independently via the internet, but still has a lot of home work.
