From snowy to frosty...

Hello Everyone,
This is Andreas from Switzerland. I'm glad to be a part of this Team,
that has the chance to go to the southern part of Mongolia!
"It is almos that time", that we are about to enter this Cross Cultural
expirience for about three weeks! Life is exciting! I look forwart to
see a new part of the world and to be involved in some Missions work
in a different country. Right now, my Christmas here in Canada is very
snowy, here in Saskatatchewan, but I guess it is a good preparartion for
the cold clima in Mongola, were we will be living under very frosty conditions...
Dress code: "Sheep up" (wool, warm, good clothing, and so on...)
Frosty Mongolia, here we come! Andreas Schwitter

So close, we can TASTE it!

On Sunday, school was dismissed for the Christmas holidays, and everyone went their separate ways until early January. When we see each other again, it will not be for very long! We return on the 2, 3 or 4th to CLBI in Camrose, and then we leave to catch the plane on January 5th, early in the morning.
As far as last minute preparations are concerned, we are fairly sure everything is accounted for and we whope we won't be surprised by TOO many forgotten things when we arrive back at school in January. We will fly into Beijing, and spend a couple days there, hopefully making a stop at the Great Wall. Then we fly into UB (Ulaanbataar), Mongolia to spend a day or so with the JCS (Joint Christian Services) staff. Then we will fly (hopefully) into Bayakhongor to begin our work with the YWAM base there. It will be a blast! we are super excited for the whole thing. If there are any updates, we will let you know!
Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone!! And we'll talk to you in the New Year.
God Bless!
Demara
