White Moon

Tsagan Sar (White Moon Festival) is the biggest holiday in Mongolia. We visited our Mongolian

friend’s family and enjoyed our first Tsagan Sar celebration. You drink fermented milk and lots

of “Booz” (Mongolian meat dumplings).

Next is to Mrs. Xaasha’s house. She is our language teacher. Her husband is the head of police

department in UlaanBaatar. She served us Kimchi and sushi roll. Many Mongolians enjoy

Kimchi.

We don’t see the signs of new life on trees until late May. It’s still cold out there in March.

CAMA Mongolian field had our Prayer Retreat with Rev. Jack Stimmel. Jason climbed the mountain during the break time. You can see “Ger district” far alongside of the mountain.

Many of the mountains around Ulaan Baatar City is bared without trees. People cut them for fire wood. A lone tree bears the witness to the harshy weather.

The view of Ulaan Baatar City from the mountain top. You see “Ger districts” around the main

road. It is dusty and the month of April will be the month of sand storms.

It is so quiet up here that you can even hear the sounds made by the wings of a hawk!
