Update

I've been here about two weeks now and I'm starting to get the hang of things.  Steve and Sukhee were gone at an AIA conference this week so I didn't really have a choice but to figure things out on my own.

I got to go watch the "Guinness World Record" Wrestling tournament with 6,002 Mongolian wrestlers with a journalist I met Tim, and a wrestler, Minga, who wrestled at St. Johns University in Minnesota.  It was interesting to watch and very clear that there is much bigger appreciation for wrestling here, than in the US.  It was also interesting to see how every one competed together.  Because there are no weight classes usually the big guys win, but there a lot of small guys who compete, and also really old guys (like in their 60's and 70's).

I also got to see the city a little bit with Cindy and her sister Jill, who was in town.  I've been getting down to the gym and wrestling pretty much everyday and I'm starting to get much more connected with guys there.  It helps having Minga there because he speaks English and can communicate why I can't go live (my wrist).  This doesn't always help because still the other day I was "drilling" with a guy and he decided to go a little harder and threw me on my head, he got me pretty good to put it lightly.  But I'm good to go now!

I've been sitting around a little more than I like these last few days, but I'm excited for some opportunities ahead.  I'm going to try and start a wrestling club at one of the local international schools and I'm praying that it will work at.  Also I'm trying to get a youth group going at another local school so please pray for these opportunities!  And my wrist because I really want to get going on the mat!

Thanks for your support!
