Homesick for Hovd (and Mongolia!)

Just a postscript--

I really do miss my students, colleagues and friends in Mongolia! Even more when I'm reminded of the milestones I can't be there for. Here's a picture of the first graduating class of English majors at the University. My students for 2 years, David has worked with them this year and now they are about to take their national exams (June 6 or 7). Please remember them, that they would do their best on the written and oral exams that day.


Please also remember David and his wife Charlotte, who will travel to UB soon (with cute son Titus, front left in pic) in order for baby # 2 to be born, there in Mongolia's capital city. Please pray for safe travel (and a direct flight!), as well as a safe delivery for mom and little one.

Thanks!

While J is in class...

I'm here, at my desk, thinking about the (many!) various and sundry things I have to do... one of which is communicate more regularly with friends far and near. Mostly far.

Just recently I discovered my friend Sarah's blog, and was inspired.

I don't have much news to report. We've been at our new home in Virginia for about a month now, and are feeling more settled in. Still looking around and praying for the right fellowship to attend. Of course, nowhere is perfect, but we want a place where we can both learn and grow, and someplace that feels like it could become home for us. We've visited wonderful churches, but do not yet have a sense that any of them are that home.

My mom is doing really well these days; thank you to those of you who have prayed for her! Janelle (my baby sister) is coming up north in a few weeks for her baby's dedication (or christening, i'm not sure which), so I hope we will also be able to take a road trip and be there to celebrate with her and Paul.

I really should get some other things done during my 2 free hours till Javkhaa finishes his class. Till then, have a blessed day!
