Sept. 22 2010

Carrie said I needed to add in a story from the MTC so here iCheck Spellingt is. There was a senior couple going to Mongolia they ran into a missionary who teaches at the MTC who served in Mongolia. While talking he mentioned that he had taught and baptized a sister in Mongolia who had moved to Turkey and he could no longer get in touch with her. This senior couple said they had a daughter serving in Turkey and the missionary said he had her address there in Turkey so he gave it to them and they emailed it to their daughter who forwarded it on to her branch pres. The branch pres. had two mongolian sisters attending his branch but could not speak Turkish and no one could speak mongolian. Well the branch pres. called the missing sister who said she had been living there for 6 months and didn't know there was a branch and she wanted to go to church could she please attend his branch, she can speak Turkish and will now be the translator for the other two mongolian sisters. Small world!

We are now in Little Rock and have attended our first ward meeting at the Pinical Mt. Ward, we met with the Bishop Beheshti, who played football with Ed StPierre and was wittness to Cheryl and Eds courtship and ordained Ed when he joined the church. Small world!

The missionaries were going to climb Pinical Mt. on Monday and we went along, I mean we are from Colorado , how hard could it be to climb the hill they call a Mt. Malcolm and I were going up the easy side they said and they went around to the hard side. It reminded me of the Hanging Lake trail, pretty steep but do-able. Then about 3/4 of the way up it started, the BOULDERS !! It was all I could do to climb up these hugh rocks , no ground just big rocks piled on top of each other, but I made it to the top and what a view . WOW I don' know how to post pictures on this blog so Ill put them on facebook. Couldn't walk that night thank goodness for ibuprophen. Love to all
