Quilts Delivered

Our children, in America, wanted to do a service for the people in Choibalsan, the Branch members and also for the children in the Orphanage.

They made and sent 28 quilts and baby blankets!

It was so fun to get them and see their beautiful work and the love and care that went into the making and and sending of them! The missionaries wanted to be a part of this project. They helped with the translating and also making contacts. We gave quilts to members and non members, those we felt needed some love and a warm blanket!
We loaded up two taxi's with people, blankets, seeds, coloring books, crayons, pictures from Trisha's school class and even a few treats for the children.

Ochrasuren, is the owner and manager the Light Center Orphanage in Choibalsan. He is also a Church member, not always active, but a good guy! We had the opportunity to tell him that he was missed at Church and that he needed to come back. He promised to come on Sunday.


We gave him the seeds that Grandpa Brady sent to him, he was so pleased! I told him that my father plants a big garden every year, and loves to garden, anad he wanted to share some seeds with him. The Orphanage plants a big garden, also and the Children help take care of it. They bring their water up from a well for drinking and all their needs, so to plant and take care of a garden is alot of work. They have to water each plant individually.

There are 15 children at the Orphanage, but since it is the beginning of the holiday, Tsagaan Sar, some of the children have gone with relatives. There were 8 children the day we went. The two little children, right in front came to him the day before. They are all living in a Ger for the winter, it was warm and clean. They were tickled with the coloring books and crayons that were sent, you can't buy crayons or coloring books in Choibalsan.

The whole group with their blankets, and suckers.

They each got to pick a quilt, and they held on to them very tight!

The quilts were so pretty and colorful!

They were perfect!

Each apartment building has a janitor/care taker. They call them "Stair Ladies", because they are usually women. They live under the stairs. Their home is about the size of our bathroom, back home. She had her little home fixed up so cute. She has a little girl and a little boy. They have so very little, the little girl liked the coloring book. The little boy was more interested in the cookies. She kept saying "thank you so very much!" (of course in Mongolian)

Togooch is a member that lives in a little house out of town. She is such a sweet lady, and one of the few that have been to the Temple. She is 73 years old. She is always giving me or Dad a piece of candy, or a pen filler, or something. She is so cute!

We visited Emaa Purtivee for Tsagaan Sar and gave her a quilt!

Elder Sarengerel, in the middle, ask if he needed to leave it for the next Elder who came to Choibalsan or if he could take it with him.
