Hey everyone this week was of course Halloween and it was pretty sweet. But first one experience, last Friday Udall and I had to teach at the Hospital like always. However this day was different because several doctors from India came to the hospital for a charity thing or something like that. All of them spoke pretty good English so Udall and I were there translators all day for them. We ended up splitting to help the doctors Udall went somewhere else and I went to a surgery. They had the person on table and I was in an observation room to the side. Then The Indian doctor gave some advice to the Mongolians and I had to translate it them in the middle of the surgery. At one point he told me tell to tell the surgeon to rotate a catheter inside the patients body. So I told the surgeon to do it over the microphone in the surgery room.
So that was crazy and then for Halloween we didn't do a lot. My comps school had a big Halloween party and so did Udall's comp. So we just hung out and ended up getting our flu shots, mission accomplished! Past that we just sat around and ate food that day. Both of our comps schools had parties that we're not allowed to go to because they're not our sponsor.
Also earlier this week we went hiking and found huge graveyard out in my area and climbed a mountain. That was super cool and found this scary shaman alter nestled in the saddle of a mountain. And we found a pack of cute ger puppies.

Hey everyone this week was kind of slow. The most exciting thing coming up is Thanksgiving. We don't have any plans yet for it, but we'll make some. This last week we got an investigator to commit to baptism and we've met with her twice now. We're planning on her baptism. The other most exciting thing this week was that everyone in the mission got their blood drawn. I don't really have any pictures, sorry. I'll have some next week tho! Alright see you next week!

Hey everybody this week was awesome so I'm just going to go straight into it. To start off last P-Day Elder Reynolds and I went exploring deep into Songino area and we found this awesome valley in the mountains out here. In the valley was an abandoned lagert village, it's like a camping resort. It was abandoned for the winter, just like on the Shining! We were out there and we found this this natural spring out in the snow with a huge alter surrounding it. Mongolians think that things like that have spiritual significance. then we walked further into the village. At one point we saw a wild pack of dog chase another a dog away and eat him, that was straight crazy. Then we found this cool resort out there called "bayan uul amralt". The whole place was like a movie. Then we had Thanksgiving, we had district meeting, the last one this transfer and dinner at a nice restaurant Then on Saturday Songino a had a Baptism of an investigator for the sisters who I had taught a little, but because we needed a male present and that was too hard so we gave her to the Sisters. Then she asked me to Baptize her! So I preformed my first baptism ever on Saturday!!! And today we find out if I leave Songino or what is going to happen this next transfer, it's tense!

Also you may notice that I'm sending this on the wrong day. That's because I couldn't take p-day on Tuesday this week because of the Halloween stuff.
