Mongolia For Christ!

Dear Patners in missions,
Greetings from Mongolia! Thank you for your prayers and supports.  We are doing fine by His grace and mercy. We seldom send email because we are located 3 hours away from the city and there’s no internet connection. However, the school we are staying lend us a computer in which we can encode our emails and do newsletter so that when we go to the internet, we just send. We are staying in a government school built by the Ministry of Education Mongolia and World Vision. Rev. Chung, Director of MM Korea made an arrangement before we arrived. They let us stay in one room which is really a bedroom free of charge including the electricity. They lend us this computer and a piano. The kitchen is just beside our room.  But the problem is that the restroom is few meters away from the gate of the school. It looks like the restroom  in the Mr Bones because they don’t have water to flush. It was really a struggle for us at first. We can’t take a bath and wash our clothes. Rev. Chung mad an arrangement that we need to goto Ulaanbaatar once in every two weeks just to take a bath and wash our clothes. In fact, I cried at first, I thought I couldn’t make it. Lately, we found out that there is a river in Jargalant town proper but it’s not really clean. We are going there sometimes to take a bath and wash our clothes. Somebody is supplying the water (2 gallons for one week) but that is only for washing the dishes. We are buying mineral water for drinking in Ulaanbaatar but it is expensive. The water system is located in Jargalant town proper which is maybe 3 or more kilometers away and they don’t know how to make a way for a water system to be established and it’s one of our prayers that we could do something Anyways.  From Monday to Friday, 9:00-11:00 and 2:00-4:00, we are teaching English here in the school. It’s summer vacation this time so the students don’t have regular classes so this English class is their summer class. This is for 45 days only then we will transfer to a bigger school in Jargalant town proper for another 45 days. On the afternoon of Monday to Friday and Saturday, we are having our language study with the family of Ankhee. The wife of Ankhee can speak a little English but his nephew, Orlgil can speak English and he is serving as our interpreter. We can now speak little Mongolian sentences.
Praise God the wife of Ankhee (Tuya) has knowledge in processing visa.  We were given 1 month to stay then she is now processing for 1 year and another 1 year. During Sundays, we are doing Sunday worship already in the church gear. We started with the family of Ankhee and another family. This time we are praying for the family of one of the school guard, Kamba.
Please help us pray. He is already close to us and he had witnessed the way we pray when we invited him for dinner during the last dinner arrangement. The vegetables available in the market that we saw is only potato, carrots, cabbage, and cucumber. It’s also very hard to find garlic and ginger. If there are, it’s expensive. This time we couldn’t plant anything in the church lot because no water. Mongolian eats bread mostly than rice. Big adjustment for us. There is available rice also in their small store near the school we are staying. Praise God, we didn’t get thin yet. He is also sustaining us with strength and joy to face the adjustments. We are using the pocket money that we gave from Philippines and that’s where we got our payment for our visa also. We only have 50US dollars left.  Please help us pray for His provision.
Mongolia is very big area without people; all you could see around especially here in the province are plains, hills, mountains, grass, goats, sheep and horses. Trees are on the far mountains only, mostly pine trees. Car is a necessity because the area is so wide and their pasture land is very far from their house or gear. We are declaring
our own car.

In Prayers,
Roggie & Lui
