The King of Pong

Every Wednesday we have a prayer meeting with Mongolians and Americans praying together for all manner of things.  This week before the meeting a couple of the Mongolians arrived early and set up the ping-pong table and had some friendly competition.  I joined in when there was a chance even though it's not my best event.  Since coming here I have improved though.  Usually with these guys we play to a winning score of 12.  At first I played with Bilgee and started out okay but ended up losing to Bilgee's superior Asian style.  Later I played Togsoo and got smoked.  Mr. Patterson is widely recognized within our group as being the one to beat when it comes to ping-pong.  Before prayer Mr. Patterson played against Togsoo and Togsoo won.  Afterwards Mr. Patterson played him again but this time he won handily.  Before I headed out I played one more game, it happened to be against the King of Pong.  I didn't do so badly and ended up only losing 9 to 12.
