Mongolian Christmas

Well it does feel strange being Christmas Eve and all... but I love the season... the music, cheerful people, and recognizing Jesus Christ in our lives. It seems like only a day ago I was in Mongolia celebrating Christmas... 2006 style...

Last night I was introduced to some new friends, and we talked a little bit about the mission... and what Mongolia is like, etc... After coming home, I couldn't help but think about the wonderful Christmas I celebrated there. So I'll show you all what goes on...

A few of us missionaries got together and sang the National Anthem to start off the Christmas Party 2006 in our suits...

I only took about 70 pictures at that party.... : / ... So I won't throw them all on here, but I've gotta represent for the Mission President and his wonderful wife.

This is probably about 60-70 percent of the missionaries posing after our Christmas Party

That's just a sneak-peek of a Mongolian style Christmas I guess...

Welp, Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Hello!

Well, I'm a blogger... dot commer...


I returned home from serving for 2 years in the Mongolia Ulaanbaatar Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on November 23rd, 2007. It was a wonderful 2 years... I'll never forget that time, and a day won't go by without thinking about the people I met with, taught, and made friends with... I gained a true testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ there in Outer Mongolia. The gospel is true! I am confident that I'll be able to say that every single good thing in my life came from serving the Lord in Mongolia.

I'm in the process of organizing all the thousands of pictures and countless videos recorded in Mongolia... then I'll post them online...

It took me a whole week from returning off my mission to get back in 2007 and get the "necessities" of life - a cell phone, computer and iPod... (i feel like a geek saying that... but ya know... I've got nothin' to hide...)

My mother taught a wonderful lesson today at church, and I had the chance to tag along in order to provide "technical support"... aka I setup a short slideshow for them to watch on the T.V....I actually snatched this slideshow (below) off YouTube... Enjoy.

Welp, my goal is to continue making posts to keep up with the other bloggers out there... This is all way new to me, so we'll see how i do...

I have church in 9 minutes....!
