Week of February 10 2014

We were invited to attend a family home evening with an investigator family of five, 

(Gandbot is the father's name), 

with Elder Stanley and Elder Higgs 

and also with a great member family (Enkhbold, is the father's name)

We played ping pong, shared scriptures and of course refreshments.

 A very competitive game of ping pong

 Enkhbold and his family, Elder Stanley is in the back.

Gandbold and his family.  The 17 year old girl that is on the right,

 has been attending the free English Classes that is taught is the Bayanzurkh building

and is in our class.

It was her interest that triggered her father's interest in the church.

Elder Stanley had just been transferred into the Chingeltai Branch

and really did not have any teaching pool. 

He and his companion fasted and prayed for someone to teach.

Soon thereafter they recieved a phone call from Ganbold

 wanting to know more about this church who taught free English Lessons.

The family has been awesome.

They learn about a principal and are immediately ready to live it.

They found out about the Word of Wisdom 

and were willing to cut out their tea consumption.

The missionaries this last Sunday, taught them the principal of fasting

and when they recently had a problem wanted to know how to fast 

so they could get an answer to their problem.

It is so fun and humbling to see their pure simple faith.

 Enkbold's only son.  He is so cute!

 We finished out the week by going to the Senior Couple training and 

going to the YA Valentine Dance.

These senior couples are Great!

They are so loving and kind and willing to do the Lord's Will. 

We have been truly blessed to know them and to learn from their love and example
