I survived....
After 36 hours of travel time, including a 13 1/2 hour delay in Beijing, Austin finally made it to Mongolia. They travelled under very strict instructions, which we are not allowed to really discuss. We received a picture and a very short email.
Hey mom, I wanted to tell you that I am alive. The trip was crazy, but I'm okay. It's pretty crazy here, the language is insane. But it's also freaking cold.
I'm sitting in an internet cafe right now, surrounded by Asians who are playing Warcraft against each other. Not gonna lie, life is crazy. I've already done so much that I won't really be able to get all down. I helped this lady in the ger districts* get water (we have to get it from a well) and was almost attacked by her Tibetan Mastiff dog. Mongolia is nuts. Also the food is pretty bland. I'm going to need to find some hot sauce quick.
Also P-day is Tuesday so I'll be able to write more then. Love you lots.
Here is my mailing address. The mail system is wack over here, so you have to send all letters and packages to the mission office.

He looks a little exhausted.
