..and hello from Ulaanbaatar!

So, as you may have guessed by the title, we have made it safely to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia! We flew in about 11:00 Friday evening. Our contact in Ulaanbaatar, Sam, who is a member of JCS (Joint Christian Services) , picked us up from the airport, and everything went very smoothly. Again, thank you God. We stayed overnight at another JCS member's house. Their names are Spencer and Pat from Tennesse. They are awesome! And very hospitipal, and awesome accents.. Wonderful! :)
We woke up this morning and went to Sam's house. We saw the other team off to Erdenet, they took a taxi for the 4 hours drive. Then we spent the day walking around Ulaanbaatar, and getting oriented with the culture. It was a great cultural experience! It was absolutely wonderful. :)
But we have to sign off, as we have to wake up at 5:00 tomorrow morning to catch the plane for Bayanhongor. Talk to you later!!
God Bless,
Demara
