Hello All,

Back online, but there will be no pic's as we only have dial-up. I am up in the city of Darkhan, which is where I was 3 years ago at this same time participating in a women's conference. Sue and I travelled up here Monday evening. We spent time today with Melanie who is co-pastoring with her husband in a church here. Tonight we spent time with about 12 of their women who are in leadership. Had a great time. Doing women's meeting tomorrow evening and then back to UB on Thursday.

Rick and Bill are touring. They took a train and will be back in UB on Saturday. Our time is pretty full. The adventures we have can be fully understood by anyone who has been to a developing nation. Taxi rides are sometimes more "thrilling" then amusement park rides. I think the taxi drivers specialize in the game of chicken with the oncoming drivers. This becomes especially exciting at night when vehicles may or may not have all of their functioning headlights. And seatbelts.....well let's just say they must be under there somewhere, but I have yet to find one. For a child who was full of fear about every little thing, the Lord sure has brought me a long way. Things you would never consider at home, you find yourself doing without apology. It's really quite amazing. We have met some very interesting people and know that God has been moving among the people we have been meeting with. Our schedule is quite full and here it is around midnight and Sue and I have just had dinner. Ah, life on the move with someone else making all the decisions. Certainly cures a person of any control issues they may have. God is good and I will try to go online soon, but may wait until back in UB when we have wireless. Can then post some pic's and give more details. Thank you for your prayers, very much needed and appreciated.
