Happy Цагаан Сар (White Month literally translated) Mongolian lunar new year everyone. This is the New Year for Mongolians when they traditionally meet friends & family in their homes to eat mutton, steamed mutton dumplings, salads, eat dry hard sweet bread & drink salty milk tea. This year The kids & I will be visiting only one family, my dear former Mongolian language teacher's family. It's also good that I only meet one family this year for my health. I like the fatty Mongolian traditional foods.
Teresa is away in China for a woman's conference for the entire week. I am so excited for her to have this opportunity to meet & learn with women from all over Asia. Please pray that she enjoys her time.
Also please pray for Teresa's health. Earlier in February all of us went to Thailand to visit friends & enjoy the clean air. Teresa's Asthma was completely gone only after a few hours is Seoul on route to Thailand. While in Thailand her asthma was completely gone, but the day we returned to Mongolia her asthma returned due to the smog. With the smog she is wheezy only after being out for 10 minutes, needing to use her puffers.
