Monday, July 9th
We started our "Teaching English as an International Language" class this morning at the MTC.  There are only two couples who are going to Mongolia, us and the Woods. (The Woods had to drive up from Las Vegas and are staying at the MTC).  We went hoping that we would be able to leave by 4:30pm, but we were pleasantly surprised, when we found that the "in-class" portion each day would only last until noon each day this week.  After that we were able to leave and complete our "homework" at home.  So we came home and after our "old person nap" we were able to complete the homework.  The homework is done on an online program that is still undergoing some work, so it has a few bugs in it.  But we got it done and were able to rest and enjoy dinner at home tonight.  This is the way it will go each day this week, so we will  be able to finish our course by Friday and still get a few other things done as well.  We will have homework to do each day as we did today.
