So what have we done this week?

That is a good question.  The days go by fast and we truly are busy,
 but the end of the week comes and you wonder what have you done.  
Anything of worth?  I don't know.
The weather has been VERY WARM.  
It would rival any spring back in Utah temperature wise.

Not much spring growth yet.

We did get a MOU (memo of understanding) signed with the
National Mental Health Hospital of Mongolia

The project is to build a greenhouse so they can plant food and flowers.
 They treat their patients in this Hospital with life skill training.
They have a Ger Project where 35 patients can live.
They cook and clean for themselves. And they are given meaningful work.
They have planted potatoes in the past, made cement blocks.  
This project will give them more opportunity to grow vegetables
and flowers that can be used in the Hospital
and at the same time it gives the patients in this Ger project meaningful work and self- respect.
The treatment at this hospital is training and how to work and then medication when needed.
They have a very successful treatment rate.
I agree, having meaningful work makes you feel better. Makes you feel of worth.

The signing of the MOU

 This is a picture of the Mental Health hospital ger project.
There are 36 individuals that live here from the hospital.  They are supervised by the staff.
Trained in life skills, given jobs, cook their own food.
They have a high success rate in getting these people back into society.



We had the opportunity to watch General Conference in ENGLISH
With the missionaries that speak English.  There were 14 Elders 7 Sister Missionaries
and 4 senior Couples.  It was AWESOME!
It is so wonderful to hear the prophets speak and to feel the spirit!



These are some pictures from my morning walk.  We try to get out and exercise almost every day.
At 6 am it is peaceful not too much traffic but there are quite a few runners and walkers now.
Notice the recently pruned trees and they are starting to bud out!
I still can not believe how Hot it has been. 60's and 70's F

Kids out playing in the playground by our apartment.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Scripture for the week:   2 Nephi 25: 26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.
