Friday Photos: Travels and Students

I try to have the weekly "Friday Photos" feature of RememberMongolia.org have some relation to the week that just passed.  This week that's a bit problematic because there were two somewhat interesting things which took place that warrant a picture.

1. I (Bernie) made a trip by train to the Chinese town of Zamyn-Uud to meet with some church leaders there.  It was interesting, to say the least ... and about the only way I want to actually see the Gobi Desert (which is really a whole lot of nothing!) This is my train at the Zamyn-Uud Railway station.

I returned on Thursday.  On Friday evening, we had over 100 students show up for the kickoff event for Grain of Wheat Student Ministries. We had a great evening of live music, games, cakes and coffee ... and an "open mic" for student performances.  It was an encouraging evening, and we look forward to having more student activities like this (another Open Mic night in two weeks!) So for this Friday Photo shot, I want a to share a couple of grabs from the evening.
