When we drove into the families хашаа (fence) all their family was so excited to see us.
Here' s what it looks like inside her summer home & there she is laying on her bed.
This Lady has touched my heart. I really enjoy visiting her. Years ago she had breast cancer & at the time her husband found it too difficult. He then left her their 2 children. She survived the breast cancer & last year discovered that the cancer was not gone, but in remission & moved to her bones. The cancer has now spread to most of her bones meaning she's in constant pain & not able to move on her own. Every month when we get together we laugh, tell stories, encourage each other & sometimes cry. We always talk in Mongolian, sometimes she'll talk in Russian & I'll talk in what little Ukrainian I know.
I also brought our little BBQ & made kabab's for everyone. I will not show the pictures, but I got to try for the 1st time cow intestine salad & sliced horse intestine. I really liked the үхэрын гэдэс салат, cow intestine salad, but didn't like the моьрын гэдэс, horse intestine. we had хуушуур fried mutton dumpling, сүүтэй цай boiled salted milk tea, монгол бяслаг Mongolian cheese.
It was so nice to get to see her children & the rest of her family. The day was really hot & 6 hours later we went home. Needless to say I was so full from all the food we ate that I did not eat supper.
Kiel finished school on Friday & he was really sad that he was having a break for the summer. This year of school was awesome. He loved his teacher, got to make a lot of Mongolian friends which was what Teresa & I had prayed for.
