Oh dear.. its almost here! Kind of..

It seems like things are well underway for the preparation of Team Mongolia South. At CLBI this last weekend, we hosted our main fundraiser, called "Meatballs for Missions". We invited people all over Camrose and area to come and have a great meatball meal, cooked and served by the 2nd year class, with much help from Bernell Odegard and Dawn Issac. :) Thanks, guys! It was a success! We managed to raise just shy of $5,000. That is incredible. A huge thank you for all who turned out to support us in this! And for all who are praying for us. We are feeling your prayers, and we need them!
As for other plans that have changed since the last time we wrote, we have discovered that we will be spending about 3 1/2 days in Beijing, giving us more time to explore this wonderful culture and to spend some time being tourists, and still planning on going to the Great Wall of China. We are also planning on travelling as far as UlaanBaatar with the other Monglia Team, Team Erdenet. We will have so much fun travelling with our friends on this team! Check out their blogspot at "teamerdenetmongolia.blogspot.com".
When we arrive in UlaanBaatar, we will spend maybe a day there, and then travel 17 hours across the Gobi Desert in a van or bus. Talk about long drive with good scenery! I hope the terrain won't be too flat and lifeless. :)
Other than that, we will post more when we are closer to the day we are to leave. Please continue praying for us. Oh, and we will be sending out another updated prayer/info letter soon, for all those who are wondering!
Until next time, God Bless.
