Yesterday we were invited to the Mayor's restaurant to eat with Chineses friends as I explained before.  We had to rearrange our schedule because we had been invited to dinner by some friends of Elder Maynes who had constructed 4 water projects under the direction of the church welfare services; i.e. Elder and sister Maynes.  So we went with them to eat shortly after we had finished at the Mayor's.  They are a very nice couple.  She is a member of the church.  Their daughter served a mission on temple square and is now living in Provo and is engaged to be married to a guy from central America.  They will come to Choibalsan to meet the parents and if approval is given the couple will be married in the Salt Lake Temple.  I gave them my contact information and made them promise to call me so I could take them out for pizza when they come to America for the wedding. As we finished dinner with them the Chinese called and said they had cooked a special dinner for us and wanted us to come.  We felt we couldn't refuse so we headed back to the restaurant for another meal.  Clyde said he had never eaten so much on a fast Sunday.  We all have to make sacrifices.

We have been asked to teach at the kindergartens, 1st the children, then the parents, then the teachers to try to instill good hygiene habits in the very young.  These are the kindergarten kids I taught this afternoon.  There were 60.  So well behaved.  They know about brushing and gave all the right answers but they have petty bad teeth.  Out of 180 kindergarten kids (ages 3-5) that Clyde examined one day, 90 had serious dental decay.  So I hope our instruction to the parents and teachers can make a dent.

We were given tickets to a musical tonight held at the Choibalsan Theater.  It was very good.

Having a great time.
Wish you were here.
