Friday, May 12thThis morning at MIU we had 3 classes, an hour each, from 9:30 to 12:30. Tim usually teaches, but he will be gone for about 3 days and so David is teaching in his place.We got a lot of the Journals graded today. In total we have about 120?ish?journals to grade. In the evening we went to a Christian Mongolian “Opera?, though it was not only Opera. I think mostly the Korean Missionaries ran it. The Mongolian orcastra played mostly on the “Horse Fiddles? I don’t know the Mongolian term for the instrument. The fiddle has 2 strings with a bow and a box 
shaped body with the carving of the head of a horse on the handle. It was really neat to hear the Mongolian orcastra play some American songs like “Hoe Down? and “Serenade? by Mozart. There was a Solo played by one of the Mongolian “Horse Fiddlers? of “Ave Maria?. It was really beautiful! Then a Korean American choir (from New Jersey USA J) sang some Christian songs in Mongolian, I think. Anyway, it was not English. Then one of the highlights of the evening was about 6 or 7 selections from the Opera by Jerome Hines “I am the Way?! It is the only Opera on the life of Christ. One of the really funny parts at the end was when they closed the evening with the Hallelujah chorus. All the Americans that were there stood up for it, and the Mongolians were very confused as to what we were doing and why we all stood up. I have a feeling that a lot of them asked their American friends what that was all about. J
