Well, my time in the beautiful Unur Ward has come to an end. We have had some good times here. We really have great investigators. We have to hand them off to the new Elders in our area, but they'll be in good hands. KFC and Cinnabon have opened in Mongolia, so we Americans have enjoyed some nice American food. The KFC is way better than I ever remembered it in America!
I have received my new assignment to the Enkhtaivan area across the city.
But wait, there's more! My companion will not be a native speaker of English....or of Mongolian! My companion, whose name is Oyunsukh, speaks Mongolian Sign language and soon, so shall I. I have been assigned as Sign Language Elder, an Elder-at-large who teaches all deaf investigators. (Deafness is relatively common here.) It will be a different experience than what I have had so far. I have a lot to learn in a short amount of time, but as it says in the
Book of Mormon: "Believe in Christ, for all things which are expedient unto him are possible to him that has faith in Christ." Since this is my assignment from the Lord, I know it is expedient in Him. I must have faith.
But wait, there's more! In my district of six missionaries, two are sisters, two are zone leaders, one is deaf, which means.... I'm district leader! No joke.
Well, there's my new assignment.
