TODAY IN MONGOLIA!!!
So I'm gonna run you through a normal day in Mongolia, pffft there are no normal days in Mongolia!
But today I'm going to tell this whole week as if it were one day, therefore all these stories didn't happen in one day (:
A day in a Mongolian missionary's shoes:
6:30 arise and shine!... but let's be real the sun doesn't get up till about 7:30ish :P
7:00-8:00
THE FASTEST HOUR OF MY LIFE, this is where I decide whether to make and
eat breakfast or do my hair, food usually wins.
8:00-9:00
this is personal study and the best hour of the day, all I have to do is
study and feel the spirit. Can't get much better than that. THIS MY
DE-STRESS hour of the day!
9:00-10:00 Companion study, we prepare the lessons for the day and share the spiritual goodness we learned in personal study.
10:00-11:00
Language study, My goal is to read The Book of Mormon in Mongolian all
the way through! and then I also prep for the lessons of the day during
this time.
11:00-12:00 LUNCH!!! Yup this is also a very
crucial part of the day, sometimes consists of grilled cheese sandwiches
and rice! yum!
12:00-9:00pm here's where the crazy stories
begin, and also where the miracles come from. The miracles don't come
from sitting in the apartment! We gotta get up and do something about
what we learned!
Today
in Mongolia I took on the "Ponderize" challenge and I chose Joshua 1:9 as
my scripture, "have I not commanded thee be strong and of a good
courage be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord will be
with thee whithersoever thou goest". This scripture seriously
strenthened me all day (or all week) sometimes I just needed to remember
to be strong, or to not be dismayed and lets be real when we are
walking through a ger district and a dog comes out the fence to come and
attack you like this today,
that's when you've gotta remember... to be not afraid, unfortunately I didn't
remember that in the moment, but after both my companion and I's
fearfilled yells to tell him go to go away, it worked :P No, but really,
take the ponderize challenge! #ponderizechallenge #blessing
Also today
in Mongolia my companion had to remind me to put on my jacket by saying
in the best English with a slight cute Mongolian accent, "it's not Las Vegas, it's Mongolia!" #ilovemycompanion #whyisitcold?
Today
in Mongolia we were walking out of the church and inside the gate of
the church lot, is a drunk man taking a sweet little nap, but I'm glad to
know even drunk men can find peace on the grounds of the church
#peaceful
Today
we finish the lessons, for one of our investigators and his baptism is
planned for this week WOO! and can we just talk about how his favorite English word is SELFIE #Baptism! #selfies
Well,
all in all, over all the emotions of a day in Mongolia, at the end of the day
things are good. Areas aren't the reasons why blessings come, we can be
blessed wherever we are, when we are in the work of the Lord, He
will strengthen us.
...and then sometimes at
the end of the day you've just gotta take a selfie to show you've made
it through another beautiful day in Mongolia. #TodayinMongolia
