Fall is here

Fall has come to Mongolia. About half of the leaves have fallen off of the trees, during the day our high temperatures range from 5-14 Celsius & our lows during the evening are between -5 to 1 Celsius. It a really nice time of year here. School is in session, people are back to work for the fall & you can comfortably walk around in a pair of jeans & a long sleeve shirt/fleece. Also with fall comes the coal smog as Mongolians in the Ger district need to heat their gers in the evening & night. But deep down it is a comforting feeling.

Please pray for the kids & I. We are going on one last camping overnight in the countryside. I just looked at the overnight low of -7 Celsius & with the windchill the real feel is going to be -17 Celsius. It makes me laugh though. Last year the exact same time the kids & I camped & we woke up Saturday morning to snow. It will be cold enough to snow, but hopefully it won't. Teresa is going to have a fun girlie night with her friends. Time to rest & have fun with her friends.
