I know that many of you are thinking I am crazy, but the truth is that I really like winter. I am looking out of my bedroom window & am watching the sunrise over the snow covered mountains on the other side of the valley. It's so beautiful.
Last week Kiel, Teresa &I had our fall break from school & because of that gave Esme the week off of home schooling also. Our lives have been very busy so for our break we just stayed home, read books, played games, built Lego, watched movies & made our meals all together as a family. We also had friends over, other "workers" in the country as well as a dear Kiwi friend Jeff (YWAM), who came from The States for a visit.
This week Teresa is taking a leadership course with many (15) other Mongolian & foreign "workers" from all over Mongolia. The leadership course is 4 weeks long, but they only have class once every 6 weeks. This way the students only need to take 1 week off from their work every 6 weeks instead of taking a full month. Her classes are daily from 9-5pm & is enjoying the what she is learning.
Esme & I are together for the week. I still have my Mongolian language classes full-time & thus far Esme has been so good, she sits in my class with colouring pages while I have class. Then we do all the daily er ins, prepare the meals & more. My Mongolian friends are joking with me. They have been calling me "эхнэр Matt" which means, wife Matt. I laugh & enjoy giving Teresa the opportunity to study/take classes again. I feel it is my turn as she placed aside things she wanted to do early in our married live together so that I could study & receive my Masters degree.
