Whoever named Mongolia that was the most uncreative person in the world. But when you get out here and see it there really isnt a better way to describe it. The country is spectacular plain and simple. Alli and I are at a training site right now with the rest of our group of volunteers adjusting to Mongolia and learning about what we will be doing for the next three months. On sunday we all split up for our host families in different towns and to begin our training. Alli and I will be seperated but our host families only live about 5km away from each other so it isnt to bad. Our first night in Mongolia we stayed at a tourist ger camp and met the american ambasador the next morning, who seemed like a real nice guy.
Overall everything is going great here and we are almost 50% sure that we made the right decision to join the peace corps.

The tables have turned...you are now teaching us. Blue skies for how many hours, sounds like Alaska. What's not to like about having a long light filled day. We are enjoying your posts, getting a picture of what life is like for you and are entertained all at the same time. Sending you love.

Hi guys
I have actually been loggin on every evening in anticipation of your exciting news. Maybe when you settle in and get used to things, you can add some more detail about everyday life. Whats the temperature? What are you eating? Do your host families speak english? What are the challenges you have to address? Are you keeping a diary? I'm still very excited for you. Hopefully that 50% will go up dramatically.
Till next time. Be safe. Be healthy and have fun.
Love Judy and Dud
This is the most exciting thing that has happened in a longggg time! We can't believe you guys are really half way around the world. Every day at work I look at the world map which hangs right in front of me and I look at Mongolia, and I STILL can't believe it!!!
Bri has an Atlas at work and he marks the countries where he knows someone is or has been. Tomorrow two pins go into Mongolia!! woo hooo!
So glad all is going well and that the flights weren't too bad for you guys. We miss you and love you both so much. Take care and hang in there, it will be 110% very soon!
Love Mom and Bri
Wow are we learning about Mongolia
I finally know where it is in the world - I am terrible at geography and histroy which became very apparent living with Mike. I constantly think of you and you are definately the topic of every conversation I have and most emails
We are all so proud of you.
love Lavonne
