Teresa is on her way. 6am this morning we all hopped into our Mongolian taxi drivers van & headed for the airport. After the kids & I returned home she messaged me saying that she was on the plane on her way to Seoul. Please pray that she makes it to Thailand this evening (Sunday morning for most of you.) Tomorrow her visa paperwork will be sent to Thailand & Wednesday it then can start being processed. Please pray that the paperwork can be processed quickly as Teresa will only be there for 4 business days before having to return (praying with a visa.)
For the next 10 days the kids & I will be on our own. My Mongolian classes will be a challenge as my mornings will be spent teaching the kids instead of learning Mongolian. Some of my classes are going to be "creative." My instructors, the kids & I will be going to the different museums in the city for my classes. I am looking forward to them as би Монголоор яидэх ёстэй. (I will only be speaking in Mongolian.) Pray that the kids & I will enjoy our "kid daddy time" together.
Please continue to pray for the Mongolian people as the cold weather continues. Many people have run out of their first load of heading coal & need to buy another porter load of coal to stay warm until the temperatures warm up here in May. Also pray for the people in the countryside as 5000 animals have already been lost & many people have lost legs, arms, feet, toes & fingers due to freezing. Heavy snow & freezing temperatures (-30 to -50 Celsius) in Western Mongolia will mean many more animals & body parts will be lost.
Please continue to pray for the 1000's of people in Haiti. Our friends & fellow YWAMer's (Dominican & American) are in the city of Saint Marc doing well & leading YWAM relief efforts to Port-Au-Prince.
