Catching up
Well, we've falling way behind on blogging again. It's already getting pretty chilly here as we head into October. This summer was gorgeous and warm and we tried to be outside as much as possible. We were able to have lots of picnics by the river, went camping and hiking. Work has been very busy and it's always a challenge trying to keep a balance between work and family life. It's also difficult because when you live overseas, sometimes it doesn't feel like you have a personal life. Or maybe that's how it is for everyone in ministry. This is probably more accurate, it's just my first experience in ministry is overseas so I don't have anything to compare it to.
The latest thing that's going on at work is our Livestock and Agriculture Recovery Project. This is our more long-term response to the dzud that happened last winter. It involves a number of different things including animal redistribution, grass growing and a model farm. It's interesting for me, being on the very fringe of what's going on but to start learning more about grass growing and organic farming. I NEVER thought I would say this in my life, but growing grass is really interesting. Our project location is in a province called Arkhungai which is in the center of the country. This year 62 families are being helped who lost everything or almost everything in the dzud last year.
Anyway, here is a smattering of pictures from the last few months (mostly of Penelope) and a new resolve to blog at least 2-4 times a month.

Dzud
I don't know how long this link will be good for, but this is a really good, clear article about what's going on in Mongolia right now. Samaritan's Purse is doing a relief project providing food for people who have little or nothing left. Please pray with us for all these people who are suffering terribly.
