Last Saturday we had our last community centre craft class. We had a pizza party for the kids to say thank-you for coming, creating & getting to know them. The coolest thing was one of the community boys got his piece of pizza & asked how to eat it because he had never had it before in his life. It was the first time he had ever eaten pizza & best of all was that he didn't like it (on the left.) 
We are going to miss the community kids so much. They were so much fun. I will miss them running up the hill when they see Kiel, Esme & I driving to the centre. Esme & Kiel loved to play, make crafts, talk with & love the community kids. These kids kids are so creative, but their families worry about feeding them & don't have extra money to spend on paper or coloured pencils. We are so thankful that our community centre is helping suffering poor families with food so we could offer them a craft class.
Tuesday Teresa & the kids went to the community centres kindergarten graduation. Teresa & the kids really wanted to go to the graduation because some of the kids from our craft class were graduating. Itwas a wonderful time for Teresa & our kids to see their younger Mongolian friends graduate. They listed to the little singing & performance concert their kids had prepared for their families. Then they got to watch all the kids dressed up in their little suits & dresses walk up to get their certificates & then sit down with everyone present to have a short celebration meal. As the kids were leaving they all got a new change of clothes, new backpacks with notebooks, pencils, pens, rulers & colouring pencils inside. We want to allow these kids the best opportunity to start public school as best as we can. The kids & their families are so grateful for the kindergarten & gifts to help them.
While Teresa & the kids were at the graduation I was with a visiting ywam team from Руссия (Russia). I started 9am by translating an hour testemony from English to Mongolian at Teen Challenge. Then we had our morning break. Then we went to a place where a Mongolian friend is caring for poor disabled men. We brought wood to fix their beds. They are staying in old Mongolian Гэр (homes) & their beds are very old. Many of these Mongolian men have lost control or cannot walk outside to use the bathroom. So the first thing we did was give them our lunch, then we started to change them and give them a sponge bath. Юхан (Dutch ywam leader living in Russia) is an amazing ywam leader because he was willing to sponge bath all of the men if they needed it and did not find it difficult. Next we took their mattresses off to clean them as best as we could, then cut wood to make their beds more comfortable.
At the end of the day I was so tired, physically not tired, but mentally exhausted. Since the ywam team has come from Руссия I am listening in Russian and trying to understand (language practice) then taking English and translating it into Mongolian or taking Mongolian and translating it into English for the ywam team leaders then to translate into Russian.
All four of us love serving God by serving people in need.
