Two Mongolian Saints!

Sister Banzragch came to the temple to receive her own endowment.

 She joined the church just one year ago.

Sister Tsend joined the church in 2002, and later served a mission in Ukraine.

Both women attended sessions all day every day for the past week at the temple.

They traveled here with the Chinzorig family, but Sister Chinzorig became ill and had to return to their home in Mongolia two days after arriving.

Ganbat Chinzorig and Ariunbolor Gankhuu came to be sealed as a family, 

and Naranchimeg was prepared to babysit their little boy, Bilegt

 so his parents could attend the temple.

Bilegt is 2 years old and with his long braided hair, I mistook him for a cute little girl. 

 I was told it is customary in Mongolia not to cut the hair of young boys.

Unfortunately, we did not get a photo of them because they left unexpectedly.

 Narantuya Banzragch and Naranchimeg Tsend

Narantuya is a thoughtful and giving woman.
She gave key chains to the temple workers as a token of her appreciation.

They plan to return in one year, so we expect to see them again before our mission ends.
We sure hope so!
