Mongolia....an awesome country! We were privileged to visit Mongolia for a month and especially to visit with our son Mark, his wife Cinda, and children Annika and Toby. They live north of the capital of UlanBataar in the town of Darhan. We were about 50 miles south of Siberia. Beautiful Mongolia...the 'Land of the Endless Sky'. While 1.5 million people live in the capital, 1.5 others are scattered in the countryside and other towns. Many are nomadic, living in gers that they can move along with their livestock from place to place. Cows, horses, goats, sheep are everyday sightings, even outside your front door.
Mark and family work with many others in a NGO capacity. Mark is involved with a Christian Leadership Training Center, training church leaders from around the country. We celebrated the graduation of 6 who had completed this two year training program. Multiple other programs also take place. Cinda teaches ESL classes.
Returning to our lives in the states, we gratefully received the news today of good labs and a good examination. Thank you Lord again...! for your provision of life.
Pictures of Mongolia to follow...let me know if you wish to see them. Linda
Don/Linda,
ReplyDeleteGreat news as you never know what to expect from those clinic visits but we're always hopeful and God is always faithful. Glad you had a safe journey to/from Mongolia. As we probably won't be visiting there in the near future, pictures would be wonderful. We'll be down on 58th and Maryland tomorrow for a checkup ourselves. You folks take good care.
His,
Steve and Dawn

ReplyDeleteOf course we want pictures as Mongolia isn't on our bucket list as we speak.
So glad to hear your report at the Dr. was good. God is a Great God!!
