Tsaagan Sar continued

I thought we would share a few more pictures of the rest of our visits for Tsagaan Sar.

On Sunday, February 2nd we visited with Buyandelger,

 a sweet sister from the Sukhbaatar branch and her daughters after sacrament meeting. 

 Again we are amazed at the hospitality.  

This sister is a faithful saint who was lucky enough to go to the Hong Kong temple

 this last November and was able to be sealed to her husband

 who passed away several years ago.  

We enjoyed getting to know her and feeling her love for the gospel.

We then attended the other branch that we are assigned to, Chingeltai.

We then were invited along with the Linford's to the home of Uranchimeg.

Uranchimeg works with the BYU Hawaii center in the Bayanzukh building

and also is a great translator for us as we attend the branch in Chingeltai.

She served in the Salt Lake City, Utah mission and speaks English very well.

She also is a great strength to the branch.

These returned missionaries are great teachers,

 Relief Society Presidents, Young Women Presidents and Priesthood Leaders.

 Uranchimeg's family lives in a Ger. It was very nice of her to invite us into her home.

Our last visit of Tsagaa Sar took place on Monday, February 4,2014

We were invited to the home of the director of Life Skills Center.

We met Sandag's family.  They are all very talented.

We found out that Sandag writes poetry and has also written songs.

His wife is a retired journalist.  His son is a lawyer. 

His 10 year old grand daughter played a mongolian instrument for us

It was a very fun visit.

 We presented him with a plaque in appreciation of DIC working with 

him and Living Skills Center

We have enjoyed Tsagaan Sar.  

The best part was meeting with these warm hospitable people

and getting to know them a little better.

Scripture for the rest of the week: Moroni 18:7  And I am filled with charity, which is everlasting love; wherefore, all children are alike unto me; wherefore, I love little children with a perfect love; and they are all alike and partakers of salvation
