Please pray there isn't any major damage. This morning was in the mid to high 30's (Celsius) & this afternoon crazy thunderstorms came in. We had hail & flash flooding. Tonight the mountains are thunder cloud covered, thunder & lighting can be seen & herd. Please pray that there will not be any major flash flooding this evening. Two years ago we saw the damage of over 500 gers washed away some with children inside. It's hard because Mongolia is an arid desert & this weather is to be expected during the rainy season, but it's still difficult.
This week is Naadam here in Mongolia. It's the 3 days where Mongolian's celebrate their life, heritage, culture & national sports click here. Most of the sporting evens have finished in the countryside & now everyone has come to the city Ulaanbaatar (Упаанбаатар) for the big celebration to begin. Personally I think the whole country is in town because it took Teresa, the kids & I 4 hours to get across town & back because of all the traffic.
Thank-you all for praying for my friend, Tsetseg (Цэцэг.) She has regained enough strength to return home. She still is in a lot of pain, but has incredible joy knowing she is still alive to spend time with her children, brothers, sisters & parents.
