This summer Aubrey Cook (‘19) traveled for almost two days in order to get to the “end of the world,” Mongolia, for two weeks. She and ten other people from Somerset Alliance Church served the missionaries and Mongolian people in various ways. The first week, they held an English camp for kids ages 8-20 in Darhan. They went over vocabulary, reading comprehension, American games and snacks, speaking, and crafts. Aubrey was able to share the Gospel with all of the kids using the wordless book and by doing a puppet show with another teammate. Comic Bibles and prizes such as a Gospel soccer ball were awarded. A playground was outside of where the team was staying, and everyday after the camp, Aubrey loved connecting with the kids. At first the kids wanted nothing to do with her, but by the end of the week, they were almost inseparable and were together any chance they got. She says, “I felt like a celebrity, every time I would get out of the car they started yelling my name and the little boys would bring me flowers. One time I was in the building where we were staying and all of the kids came up to the window and started chanting my name until I came outside.” The second week Aubrey served the full-time missionaries by taking care of their kids and teaching them multiple Bible lessons. The kids were able to have a fun time and got to experience lots of new things. Aubrey says, “God was really speaking to me. I will never forget that trip and the memories I made.”
