The holiday is still dragging on here, but we had a slightly better day today than last week. I was encouraged with some decisions made this morning, and saw some immediate fruit from those today. Other results I will look for next weekend. We started a series today on creation. I plan to put an ad in the paper to advertise this lesson this next week. This evening we saw four new people come, and arranged to start a salvation lesson this next week. I also hope to do some lessons with one or two other people this next week.

Yesterday we had a good day passing out tracts on the street. We passed out some flyers door to door for a Bible club that will start next Saturday, then just stood out on the street and passed out tracts. Just south of our church building, and just east of it are two dirt streets that people walk down to go to one of the gates of the big Buddhist temple that is about 100 yards east of our church building. Very few people said anything against us; a drunk said some threatening words to me, but right at that time a Christian happened to be walking past and as I handed him a tract he said to keep up the good work. We drove down the streets we had been standing on after we finished and only saw 5 or so tracts thrown on the ground, which was less than I thought it would be.

The man I mentioned the last two weeks, Erdenebayar, came today. He has been working manditory overtime which has not allowed him to come the last four services. Unfortunately he gave in to his wife and is back to the only one service a week and no other involvement limitation. He talked to his coworkers and relatives, none of who are Christians, and of course they didn't give him godly advice. I gave him some verses to read and we talked about it some. I will be praying that God speaks to him through the verses and we will meet again, hopefully next Sunday.

Please pray for our registration renewal that we have heard will be decided on tomorrow. I will not go into details, but it is another example of all the red tape that communists make you deal with. Please just pray that there are no problems.

Thank you for your prayers.
