A Gift From Naraa!

 Sister Naranchimeg Tsend, from Mongolia, came to the temple this past September, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting acquainted with her.  She served a mission in Ukraine and has been known ever since as Ukraine Naraa.  She asked Brother Ganbold, who is here at the temple for a week with other Mongolian saints, to deliver a gift to us from her.  She is a wonderful and kind woman, and has taken us by surprise.
This is made from sheep's wool, and is a treasured token of friendship.
'We love you.'  Mongolia Nara 2016 was written on the back.
A note was included which was written in Mongolian and addressed to Elder Gary and Sister Bodily
Translation:
Good morning, Elder and Sister Bodily,  Thank you for your great service.  You are God's angels.  We are proud of you. Your smile was so grateful.  We will love you always.
Sister Naranchimeg, Mongolia

We didn't realize we had left an impression on Naraa, but she has certainly left one on us.
Our lives have been enriched because of her kindness and love.
Naraa is on the right.

Naraa's plans are to come back to the temple next fall,
and we hope to see her before we leave Hong Kong.
