This week the Provo Temple opened back up again (woo-hoo!) so our zone if going to go do a session this afternoon. I'm very excited to go again (it's been closed since the 2nd week i was here), but it cuts down on the very precious time known as "p-day", so I apologize if my letters are shorter today—ha! but you can't be "angry" because it's the temple!
This week we met a Mongolian sister named чyлyyhxyy (as mentioned in my email). It was an incredibly cool day and our district looks forward to every chance to see her1 Elder Wilson and I have been teaching a progressive investigator in the TE (teachers evaluation) for the last 4 weeks and this week we committed him to be baptized in 3 weeks! Even with the role-play the spirit was very strong as we bore testimony of the simple message of the gospel. It was a very good day!
On Tuesday Elder Wilson needed some alterations on his suit and we were able to walk to the BYU Dry Cleaners... outside the MTC! It was the first time we'd been out and so it was awesome! One of the pictures I've sent is of our monumental walk!
Tomorrow we'll teach our 4th Mongolian-only lesson and we are starting to see the small steps of transitioning from a few memorized phrases to having an actual conversation in мoнгoлbiн xэл, slowly but surely. Tэp aмaap сaйн! (It's "scary" cool!)
Other than that we are just trying to soak up as much language as possible for our rapidly approaching departure date. Continue to pray for the visas to come through and I'll let you all know what I hear!
Love ya!
Elder Jolley
P.S. Ran into Elder Mickelson a few times and he's doing great (of course), but SO good to see him! I know his companion Elder Fauht from USU—a stud!
