Right before we left Choibalsan, the Gardner's came to do training on welfare. Sister Gardner did a fun activity with the youth on making good choices. With the help of their translator, LaNice was able to also talk to the kids about choices. The translator was very good and it felt great to be able to talk from the heart and through the spirit without having to worry about keeping it simple enough that the translator could understand and explain in Mongolian.
We ate out with them at our favority restaurant -- The Steak House--and had my favorite dish--chicken breast and french fries!

We visited the Choibalsan Museum. We had been here almost 5 months and didn't know this place excited until about 2 weeks ago. We decided to wait to go with the Gardner's when they came.
