Makayla Aubree Chestnut was born March 16th to Jenny and Eldon!
Proud Ovoo and Emaa!
Happy, cute and grateful Family!
Adorable little Makayla! 
The Elders and Sisters helped us clean and close up our apartment. It was sad to have to do that, no Senior Couple to take our place. They were so good to help us, all the things needed to be carried to the Elders Apartment for storage. We hope another Couple will be able to come in the future. When we left their were only 4 missionaries, when we came 14 months ago, there were 8 missionaries in Choibalsan. The number of missionaries in the Mongolia Mission have dropped, nearly in half.

One of the Mongolia National Games - Shagai. 
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.
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.
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!
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!
The Sisters with their quilts.
The Elders with their quilts.
When President Clark, his wife, Elder and Sister Ford and President Batbold came to Choibalsan, they brought the big box of Quilts. Sister Clark said the box was very well known at the Mission Home. "We left it right in front of the door so we would trip over it, so as not to forget them". And the first question I ask the Guard at the front desk, the day we all left, "Did they take the box of quilts?" 
We received 29 quilts and blankets in all. They are gorgeous!
The missionaries were so impressed, they all wanted their pictures with one, 
Sisters Narangarvuu and Nyambayar. Elders Usbayar and AP Elder Wilson, 
Elders Davis (AP,) Davaadorj, Sarangerel and Usbayar, again.
Early Morning Seminary - These kids get up and are at the Church at 6:30 am 4 days a week, sometimes with tempuratures of -30 c! There are usually about 9 0r 10 of them, but the Tsagaan Sar Holiday is starting and school is out. We go once or twice a week to support them and this day took some microwave popcorn, they ate popcorn for breakfast! From left to right - Erdendsetset, Enkhsetseg (teacher), Erdenemunkh (in front), Tuvshinjargal (in back), Batholboo and the tall one is Enkhmanlai (he is being baptized next week). These are good kids and we love them!
After Mutual they always play games and just hang out at the Church! Top - Borgethmaa and Urangya. Very center - Chingunjav, he is not a member but hopes to be baptized next week. Lower center - Tuvshinjargal he is a member of a couple of months. A 6 year old who comes to play, don't know his name. Belguin (Dad baptized him a few months ago). And Batholboo, he is a good young man. The bottom center is Erdenemunkh. 
One of the games they love to play is called "Meow". You are blindfolded then feel your way to sit on someones lap. They say "meow" three times and you try to guess who it is. Dad sat on Holboo's lap, but the funny thing was that Holboo wasn't on a chair, he had just squatted down, and he was trying to not laugh or fall down with Dad! We all laughed so hard, Dad guessed him right, too! 
These are some of the older youth. All have graduated from High School and are at College, some are back home for the holiday. They decided to come to the Church and bake some cookies, they then shared with everyone. From left - Sodmaa, Neema, Shijir, Erdenesetseg, Enkhtuya, and Marathlaa. Some of them have been in our English classes. We know and love each of them!
For FHE one night we invited this couple, they gave us some Shagai, ankle bones. And here they are trying to teach us how to play. It is a fascinating game, we have enjoyed learning it. Hopefully we can show you how to play when we get home. Their names are Bodisog, and Purevjav. The two Elders are Davaadorj and Sarangerel
