Kailey to Mongolia?

15 April 2008 170 views 7 Comments

So, I might be going to Mongolia in late August, to visit a missionary friend, and when I told him, he told his kids about it. His daughters and Kailey happen to be best friends and so, when they found out that Kailey wasn’t coming, they started a top 5 list of reasons why Kailey should come to Mongolia with me. Eliana (one of the daughters) came on the video chat and told them to me. I thought they were really good!


Top 5 Reasons Why Kailey Should go to Mongolia:
1. World Exposure
2. Father and daughter bonding time
3. Missionary Kids (MK) encouragement
4. We miss and want to see her
5. Take a piece of home

As convincing and good those reasons were, I had my own top 5 reasons why she couldn’t go:
1. Money
2. Money
3. Money
4. Money
5. Money

EDIT: Ok, I got an email from Eliana a couple of days ago. Check it out!

    aww. there’s eliana! they’re so cute, top 5 list. (MK encouragement is my fave). Your counter reasons are compelling too… :( maybe God will provide a way!

    not a bad idea, sandra!

    but based upon my research for the cost recently, i think i should have added 5 more reasons why she couldn’t go. :(
