Day 2


What am I thankful for today? Today I am thankful for the friends that have become my family here in Mongolia. My roommate Susan and my teammates Kevin and Pam - today we had our team meeting and shared a delicious meal of cheddar broccoli soup in a bread bowl and planned our next EXCEL lesson. Later in the day I went to my friend Joshua and Jennifer's house to make tortillas (we made around 120 today or so, see a previous post for some pictures). And after that I was invited to my friends Matt and Jess' house for dinner and games with my teammate Matthew, who came in the same time I did this past March.


While I did not see my good friends the Duffer's today, they have helped make my time in Mongolia memorable and fun! Going to their home and helping Ruth in the kitchen, spending time with their children Sarah, Adam, Christine, and David - those have been some of my highlights. Also, time with Brad (my director) at their house has let me get to know him in a deep way.

I cannot believe I have been here for 9 months, it seems like such a short time. But at other times, it is long.
