Monogolia 2011

Realities of the day.

Well I guess I forgot to mention I am home and my travel went well. God definitely provided key people for me while in China to help me find my hotel ect. He is good like that! :)
A re-cap:
Mongolia- was a good trip. We were able to help the organization there by using our skills. I mine in design and photography. Below is their blog re-designed. It needed some love so I updated everything and added some key features and information.

Also I was able to photogrpah all their products and also put them online so potential buys can find them. I think this will be a huge help in the future.

I pray this will be tools that will serve them.

But also I went to gather information for G.O. Ministries. As they didn't have much in way of photos or info. And from literally across the world you can imagine the challenges. So I was able to gather photos of the ministry, people, daily life, documentary like, potential future projects, and people involved in ministry.

While there we had many unique experiences also. Frogger was a dailylife sized game in traffic. Eating out could pose to be quite tricky, eating in could be also for that matter. Sleeping in a Gar (a yurt, a round house/tent that is movable), maybe you have seen them before in pictures. We got to see a bit of the vast country side. We got to love on the ladies who have come out of prostitution. We also had the opportunity to encourage them and share our walks with the Lord, and laugh with them.

We also found an impromptu rock climbing opp. Which I loved. And it was good for one of the Ladies to try something new and really test her courage and challenge the fear of something new. I think God had that planned all along. :)

Romania was my stop on my way home. It didn't' cost me any more with my ticket !!! YIPPEE on that! so I got o visit a dear friend, and meet some new friends in ministry who are reaching out to the untouchables and forgotten in that country. What a privilege. I was able to use my skills for them also. By gathering some photographs they can use to tell about the work God is doing there.

This last pic is for a few little girls out there who I know are in love with Horses.

You have to admit they are majestic. And they were our God's idea. This horse was
breath-taking.

Hope you this helps you have glimpses of Mongolia

Arrvials and Departurs

Well I find myself across the world literally. I am in a land that is foreign to me and to you. Before I left on this trip to be honest I was nervous and worn out and the day prior, I was flat out wanting to stay home. Where things are predictable, safe, and easy. But when you are tired you don't think straight. But after my feet were on new soil my heart got excited and revived. SO I spent a night in Beijing. The Lord provided a girl who spoke English to help me find my shuttle. Then off to Mongolia. I am running on a weird sleep schedule. Mongolia is 12 hours ahead of EST. I was picked up by the missionary we are visiting and a national who has a great sense of humor and always joking. We kinda got a quick tour just getting across the city from the airport. The city has about 1 million in Ulanbattor (an I am sure I have misspelled that). There is only a like 3 million in the whole country. The people have Beautifully round faces, the babies are even cuter, but babies are cute everywhere right. I guess I share all this just share my first few thoughts. God always warms my heart to the people, and I am excited to see do and learn more while there. I will try to update more in a while. Thank you for your continued prayers. May God highlight your day today.
