Plan A was to go on a hike, climb to the top of a hill, look out over Ulan Batar and have a short devotional time. All that changed when it threatened to rain at breakfast and opened up into a down pour thereafter.
So, plan B fell into place. The truth is, there had been no plan B before 10:00am. Erik and I got together before breakfast and saw the dark clouds in the southern sky, and pulled Taivan aside and convinced him the hike was a bad idea. he didn't believe us until it poured. Then everyone was inside. Erik put on some music, and someone ran and grabbed a guitar. I put on a short concert of American songs, while kids sang along, and then we improvised "Time with the Americans," where kids could ask us questions about Young Life or America. They were very curious about Young Life in the US and in other countries.
Then Taivan did a short club talk with a question and answer time at the end. All impromptu, but the kids would never know. Afterwards, the sun was out, and we all headed over to play basketball. Then it poured again. It looks like the hike is no longer postponed, but rather canceled. If weather permits, we may mountain board again this afternoon, but otherwise, it's a quiet pensive afternoon while the kids wait for the good news of the cross.
