Miriah's Mongolia Service Experience

Whats up, another week another victoryyyy What a bittersweet week, so much change, so much growth, so much good! We had transfers this week… which means I had to say bye to my Sweet Sister James. This transfer with her was seriously life-changing! In one word I would describe it as sacred! Everyday she taught me how to have more faith, she taught me God's love, she taught me how to be consecrated, and to rely on God more than ever! I am so grateful for my time with her and I love her so much! With that I am staying in my same area, and Sister Sommers came to be my new comp! God just continues to bless me with amazing companions because she is awesome too and I am excited to learn from her! Then President and Sister Ganbat landed in Mongolia on Saturday which means they are officially my new mission leaders! I am so excited to learn from them, but I am going to miss President and Sister Kunz! The Kunzs helped me understand who I was as a daughter of God, believed in me, an...

Hi This week consisted of two exchanges, making it a total of 8 exchanges for this transfer which is literally INSANE!! Service at house of mercy, and some fire lessons! We had a really cool lesson with our friend Azaa on Sunday! We taught him more about the Holy Ghost and why it is so important to read scriptures, pray, and come to church! It was a powerful lesson! It was so cool to see the spirit change his heart within 10 minutes of teaching! During the lesson he thanked us for helping his spirit feel better, and helping his body feel better! He is literally changing his whole life because of Jesus Christ, and I am so blessed to be changed from it too! Please continue to pray for him to have strength to overcome addictions! Okkk I don't usually like to talk about the time I've been on my mission because it makes me sad to know that it gets closer and closer to the end, but I hit 1 year today and have been pondering about how I have grown, and been changed! To be honest...

What a week… We legit only spent a couple days in our area wahoo! I am exhausted and my body is feeling it hard core, but it was such a good week! Main events.. was being sick… My companion and I could barely move on Wednesday. It was so bad, but we pushed through and went and supported some of our sisters! Then the next day we taught our new member Ichinkhorloo, she is this old emee, has an amazing testimony and just kept saying amen amen amen! It was such a good spirit filled lesson! After we went straight to the BZ (our mission home) and we now have GREEN English teaching NAME TAGS! To be honest I don't know how I feel about them because I've gotten so used to not wearing a name tag, I don't really feel like I need one! However it will be good, and has already brought so many questions from other people! YAY! Then we got on a 24 hour bus ride to KHOVD!! Literally my dream area and it did not disappoint! We got to spend all of Saturday with Sister Shilla and Sis...

I learned so much this week and wish that I had the time to write it all in this email but unfortunately I dont :) First off we are still teaching Azaa and he is progressing to baptism YAY, and he is literally working so hard to change his whole life! It is awesome to see his faith increase as he gives up addictions! We started teaching Sunder, she is 8 and her family is all members! When we went to there home we humbly sat on the floor, sang “I am a child of God” and taught her about Jesus! I have found a new love for teaching kids! We went on an exchange with Sister Wolfgramm, I love her a lot! We were in her area and got to do service for Oyunbayar, then we got to go to an amazing member meeting at Munkhsukh and Dagiis house! These guys live in a ger a little up the mountain and it was so beautiful! God really loves us so much, to bless us with this beautiful earth! All of the city missionary's got the opportunity to sing along with our mongolian members to represent our c...

Oh Hey I feel like I just wrote an email but here we are again! The weeks just get faster and faster! Went on an exchange with Sister Nomin-Erdene! I love her so much! She is so funny and helped me feel so much joy! On our exchange we had cool miracles happen, one of which was meeting Renchin a blind lady, but the second I told her I was from America she started saying “Hallelujah” and some other church related things! Sister Nomin-Erdene was then able to do some proselyting which was really cool! Also went on an exchange with Sister Delgado, and she is just an amazing example of having no fear and trying your hardest! While on exchange we literally had no idea what to do but God allowed us to run into a member I've never met and then she insisted on buying us smoothies which were so yummy! Then I got back with my sweet companion Sister James! Could not be more grateful for the things she is teaching me and how dedicated to the work she is! We have had some sacred experienc...
