Our Diverse Study

I love my weekly study of the Word with women.  There is something amazing about the Mongolian culture.  There is an open attitude to diverse ages meeting together for just about anything.  I have to share this awesome picture which shows women ranging in age from 19 to 62. 


One woman I met when we had a party for English speakers in our building.  We posted an announcement on the first floor last fall, inviting anyone in our building to our party for English speakers.  "If you can read this, you may come!" was part of the invitation.  Now, we've enjoyed stopping in at each others apartments for quick visits and she comes to study almost every week. 

Another woman in this photo sat down next to me one Sunday at church and we struck up a conversation.  She is a dear friend, now.  We see each other almost every Sunday and sit together.  Her husband died several years ago when her four children were ages 5-12.  She has experienced the faithfulness of her heavenly Father. 

The youngest woman and I met at a friend's birthday party.  We have only been meeting together for about a month and she just recently became a sister.  She is hungry to grow and learn more.

Lastly, the only American in this photo is a new teammate with our organization.  We are so happy she and her husband have joined the team. 

This day two weeks ago was a blessing as we talked about the details of the upcoming Easter holiday and what those details mean to us. 

Today, only two of these women could come, and one came at 12 noon and the other came at 3:30.  Today, two different studies, two different women, two different stories, one Savior who loves us all.
