May 3rd, 2017 - Week 38

Here is what we got from Griffin this week:

Hey everyone! This week was a little hectic so I didn't have p-day until today. 

This was the English conference that the mission always has once a year. It was really good, but a little boring sometimes. A lot of the stuff that they talked about didn't apply to us, the sponsors were all there and it was really geared toward them more. So the English conference was Monday from 4-9 that was more geared toward the missionaries, then Tuesday 8-5, that was for the sponsors and we had to go. 

Last Tuesday- we played soccer and basketball with a bunch of Mongolians and just chilled for the rest of the day.

Saturday- we went hiking with our Elders quorum in the mountains. It was awesome!!!!! The wilderness in Mongolia is super cool and has a ton of stuff in it. Took a lot of pictures!

Sunday- We had church and a ton of investigators came. That was really good.

Monday- So I went on an exchange with Elder Bird, taught at his school and then went to the conference. That Conference was a little tense cause all the missionaries unloaded all their problems on the professors who came to teach us and talk and the professors were not fully prepared for it. But I don't know cause my school's problems are all pretty small. 

Tuesday- We had the big conference and all the sponsors came. And we basically helped our sponsors and managed it. My sponsor actually didn't come so I just did backstage stuff.

Wednesday-taught English and had fun. Elder Udall and I had this idea for the lesson so that's the weird picture. 

This last week I've been focusing a lot on how blessed our lives are. Even when our lives seem not the best and pretty down in the dumps, our lives are blessed continually. This week we had an investigator named Ounbold bear her testimony on the Atonement. And it's very strong how much our lives are blessed.

Hey sorry I almost forgot send this. Last week on p-day we went to the silver chingis it's a little ways out of town. We we're the first American missionaries to every get permission from the president to go to it. It's huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was way awesome and I took a bunch of pictures.

I'll do a post of all of the pictures.
