Memorial Day in Mongolia

Seriously?!  Snow on Memorial Day?!  Whatever happened to BBQ and pool parties?   I started the day in t-shirt and jeans and ended it layered in my snow gear with Bing Crosby Christmas Songs playing in our apartment. 

Monday night is one of the nights that we teach English lessons and it was time for Michelle and I to go.  As the snow started to come down harder and harder, we called the pastor of the church to ask if we should still go to English since it was so nasty outside.  The conversation was very short...

Michelle: "We don't need to go to English lessons do we?  People don't actually go out in this weather right?"
Crosslin Family: "Hahahahahahaha.  Yes, people will be there."

Apparently, this isn't Texas.  Life still goes on when it snows.  But, our two teammates, Erin and AJ, who had come over to do laundry and are now "snowed in" and staying the night at our house.  I guess we aren't that adjusted.

So, I decided to make this my first ever blog post.  Had to happen sometime.

Happy Memorial Day.
