Time with Church, Children's Day, and Graduations!!

Lots to do this time of year!! But all is good :) :) 

Kathy and I have been having excellent times at our church. God is blessing us all! And... i went to 3 graduations recently... and... we went to Universal Best Songs 2013, the Mongolia version of American Idol. We went because a good friend of ours, Margadaa, was one of the 12 final contestants. Some of the Mongolians can sing fabulously!!! We sat near the front, experiencing the music cranked up too loud, but I guess everyone else didn't mind! But the whole thing was a good experience :)

End of the Semester!!!

The semester is over at our Language Education Institute!! All is well after  a lot of work by all the teachers and students. We had our graduation a few weeks ago. They get better and better each year. Here are a bunch of photos of the graduation and of some activities leading up to the end of the school year.

I also had the privilege of being a judge in an English Competition at a children's school one Saturday. Great time, even if it was long.. :)
