Hey Family,

Sain Uu. I've got a lot to write and so little time! Skyler.....you're 16! And you've got a license!

This week we've had opportunities to grow closer as a companionship. It's been a harder week for my companion and I have been praying for ways to help lift and bless him. My top two solutions have been patience and work! And so we've been doing a lot of that this last week. You heard from Brother Raal about our meeting on Sunday. What a cool experience! The world is a really small place eh?

(Brother Raal was a missionary in Ryan's Dad's
 mission in South Africa) 

An update on the missionary visa situation. First off, my visa is set until September and so as long as I make it to July we should be fine! On the 1st of June, 4 of the Elders from our mission were scheduled to be deported from the country. We even met as a zone on Tuesday with President Clark to learn more about what was going on, at the time we had no way of keeping those Elders in country by our own means, and we began praying and fasting as a mission for this situation to be watched over by the Lord. Thanks to prayers by people in and outside of Mongolia- the legal action following this visa situation kicked in and though a solution has not been reached, the missionaries have been allowed to stay in country while the matter is solved. This came out of the blue on Wednesday and was another reminder that the Lord is watching over this mission!

Sorry, but times up.... I love you guys and I'll talk to you more this next week!

Love, Elder Jolley
