Winter has arrived to Mongolia. We received a 1/2 inch snow last week that looked really nice that morning. Now it is all mixed in with the dust and dirt it looks like normal.
Shauna was able to take a trip to Uli-astai in October for 2 weeks and help another JCS family with some home schooling. She had a really good time and was very happy to get out of Ulaanbaatar for a few weeks. It got her thinking about the house we are planning on building in Byon-Hunger in a few years. Drew (the husband) is a very good carpenter so I have to remind her that our house will probably not be finished quite as nice. (Quite is probably not the best word maybe "not even close" is better.) She is now 4 months plus pregnant, the morning sickness is over and she is just barely showing. She was excited to buy some maternity pants and her mother is sending a whole outfit from the US.
This is Caleb Sophie and Leah who Shauna was able to teach a bit.
I am now redrawing the house plans with Shauna's input. I am also keeping busy getting ready for our time in the US. We are emailing pastors and scheduling our time. My parents commented the other day that we will be home for 6 months and they will only see us for a few days. It was a little bit of an exaggeration but not a lot. We will be very busy speaking and traveling. The baby is due on May 1st so we are taking vacation time around then to keep our sanity.
