    Holli, My wife, Katherine is active in UMW. She brought home a copy of New World Outlook where I read about your work there in Ulanbaataar. It could have been a God thing that this magazine came into my hands. My friend Ned and I have traveled extensively in China. We have been planning a trip into Mongolia out of Beijing across the Gobi in a Chinese made off road vehicle. We had not considered coming to your area, but then after the magazine piece, we started discussing what we might be able to haul in that vehicle, stuff we could bring to you at your Methodist Church. This is in the very beginning planning stages. I'm not sure of the dates on the trip, but I would like to establish contact with you. Please let me know if you read this. I can be reached at bentonumc@bellsouth.net Write to Ken

Sorry about posting 3 times in one day but hopefully this one will have a little more meaning than the other two (although, they are funny). Last week we were having dinner with two girls that are working in different capacities here in UB. They have both been here for about a year or more and they were telling us about their adjustment experiences. They affirmed our rough beginnings but then they kept talking about Mongolia, after adjustments. They said that Mongolia has a way of getting under your skin. It really grows on you and you can't help but love it. One of the girls was talking about how for a while, and even still now, she tries to shield her skin, she's not ready to love Mongolia yet. I've been feeling that same way. I want to shield my skin because part of me is afraid of loving this place. Today we went to Terelj National Park with the Seo's (the missionary family that is here). We went to go have a picnic and see the park. Their girls went and it was a lo...

frozen things.

I can't believe I forgot about this quirk. I think you'll understand why I decided to post it...it might even deserve the lone post. You be the judge. 7. A few times this week I've had the pleasure of getting to go to a Mongolian bathroom. If you're confused about what this means, see picture: That is an outhouse. It is below freezing in Mongolia every day. People use out houses for tinkling and pooping. Imagine this: mounds of frozen poop.

Aslan is on the move.

You know the game where you ask questions like this: "If you could go anywhere right now where would it be?" Well, my answer, without a doubt would be here: to that yard, with those girls... to the cozy gnu's room... laughing and laying in the grass... to the oh-so-hard-to-find rope swing... to enjoy the sunshine at town creek park... to sit on a porch on East Glenn enjoying the lull in between red lights when it is silent... to eat at Big Blue Bagel... to sing in that beautiful chapel on the corner of Magnolia and Gay... Auburn is quite possibly one of the greatest places that will ever exist. I got a tiny taste of what (I hope) summer will be like here the other day and it reminded me of a beautiful Auburn day. I have found that in the middle of the day, the sun shines perfectly through Erin's window in her room. The sunlight has literally brought me joy (we are a little Vitamin D deficient these days). Knowing that we have passed the Winter Solstice (thank goodnes...
