Have you heard of International Women's Day? It's a big hit in Mongolia, and lots of other countries like Korea. Russia celebrates it and we think brought it here. This year I learned it was started in America in the early 1900s by the Socialist Political Party of the time.
It's not surprising perhaps countries like Mongolia celebrate it. After all some of the biggest hits on the radio can be ballads of love of a man for his mother. So the holiday has kind of become the Mongolian Mother's Day. Well, we've been here long enough to celebrate it with gusto now. Here's a couple pictures of our Sunday gathering.
Most of our songs were sung to God using the good old Hymnal though:
Clara and Josiah join in the singing, as we read the words from my phone photo of the hymnal page.
Renee and the ladies brought a pot-luck lunch which was great.
(going out to eat is not an option with kids during the quarantine)
And Renee made "Texas Sheet Cake" for the birthday of her friend from Texas.
Happy Women's Day!
