Returning Home – Part VII
Tomorrow, we start our trip back to Kansas. This morning Michael and I got a taxi ride to Baganuur. It’s about a two hour drive each way. We got to see the beautiful new (two years old) church building that has been built there. I’ve been amazed at how much has changed in terms of

Returning Home – Part VI
Warning: This post is pretty boring, but I wanted to record the events. A lot has happened. Today is Thursday. Michael and I got here a week ago. It’s hard for me to remember all of it, actually. There were many obstacles. We are starting a business in Mongolia. When I first got here, the

Returning Home – Part V
I’m in a guest house (airbnb) in Ulaanbaatar not far from where I lived 25 years ago when I lived here as a missionary. I came here with Michael Jones who is my brother-in-law (my wife’s sister’s husband). I felt like I should see if someone should come with me this time, and Michael said

Returning Home – Part IV
I am struggling today. I’ll be traveling to Mongolia in less then a month. I’ll stay for around 10 days. I go there to hopefully get some answers about how we can stay there. I don’t know why, but I felt like I should bring someone along. Maybe it was because I’m wanted to go

Elora

Returning Home – Part III
We reserved a Vrbo apartment for the month we arrive in Mongolia. It’s nice to have a place to land when we get there. It’s strange to write all of this out in the open, but here goes. I love my Heavenly Father. He plays an active role in my life. He is interested in

Getting a Handle On It
There has been a lot of my mind lately, but this one topic has been running through my head the past 24 hours. Toilet handles. I’m not sure why, but all of the three toilets in our house flush successfully about five out of six times. It seems like if you flush anything other than

Returning Home – Part II
I knew this would be difficult, but I didn’t know it would start being difficult this early. I never had to think about visas before. When I lived in Mongolia last time, there was a committee of people who handled my visa for me. And I was by myself. When you’re young and alone and

Returning Home – Part I
This is my first time blogging. I guess I write it more as a journal, but I’ve been meaning to write for a while now. There have been a few places that have felt like home to me. Of course, when I was a child, every place my parents were felt like home. I lived
