Baptism 4 dayz

Hey everyone this week was a little slower than usual, however it was exciting cause I was given the opportunity to baptism an investigator for the sisters in unur. I gave their investigator, nyamzaya, the baptismal interview. Later that week she asked to baptize her! This week over all is pretty good!

Hey everybody this week was super awesome! We had transfers and elder Lichtenberg went out to the countryside. He went to darkhan! He's is sponsored by the church so he and a few other missionaries have the opportunity to leave the city. I'm now with elder Atnip,he's from Utah and it's his last transfer in the country. We've been getting along really well and have a super funtime! Last Friday We had a baptism! Our investigator,l tumennast,l got baptized and it was super awesome! We've been teaching him for about a month and a half now. He was super ready and we got him progressing towards baptism and it was sweet. Then on sunday he got confirmed and received the holy ghost! It's awesome seeing people grow and change in the gospel!

February 19 2018 - Tsagaan sar! - Week 79 

This week was awesome! We had Tsagaan sar Friday thru Sunday and it was dope! To start I went to a mountain with my MTC group to greet the sun! On the first the day of Tsagaan sar people go up to a mountain and all greet the sun as it came up. Then we went to another elders house and ate lunch. Then thru the duration of Tsagaan sar we went to a bunch of peoples houses and ate tons of Buuz! Buuz are dumplings kind of. It was awesome to go to other peoples homes and feel the spirit, people here are so awesome. We were able to share the spirit with so many people and seeing how it brings life to people is amazing! I don't have a lot pictures right now but I'll send some  more later this week.

February 12 Tsagaan sar preparation - Week 78

Hey everyones! this week was really good. To start us and some other elders went to a digital golf place, it was sweet! Then last friday the stakes here in Ulaanbaatar had a giant wrestling night! It was awesome to see everybody in the church gather together and have a good time. They had people come out in wrestling outfits and they wrestled randomly. Also this week we went to narantull, a big out door market, and got some last minute stuff for tsagaaan sar, the lunar new year here.

Hey everyone! this week was awesome,  we met with some really solid investigators who are progressing towards baptism! We also had one of them come to church, which was awesome because it was fast sunday so we had fast and testimony meeting and it was super spiritual and our investigator, Tumen, said he had some of his questions answered about prayer. It really goes to show the power that the spirit has to show people the truth. This week was over all really awesome! Last pday we painted pictures with the bayangol elders, we pulled off  our most powerful artist and channeled our inner Bob Ross. Last night we made fried chicken it was delicious!

Tsagaan Sar Prepping - January 22, 2018 - Week 75

Hello everyone it's me again! 
This week was super awesome we got the opportunity to meet with a few families a couple times this week. It was super awesome cause we were able to share the spirit in the homes of these investigators. It was a really spiritual week and I had a lot of opportunities to help people this week. Also this week I bought my deel for tsagaan car (lunar new year). A deel is kind of like a traditional robe that Mongolians wear for holidays and event. Also this week I made an awesome tent over my bed. I'm very proud of it! See you all next week love you all and have a good week!
