A tiny but enthusiastic crowd of 200 greeted Pope Francis in Ulaanbaatar's Sükhbaatar Square Saturday as he kicked off his inaugural trip to nation.
Rather than the throngs of thousands he's used to, about 200 of the faithful from one of the world's smallest and newest Catholic communities enthusiastically greeted the pontiff in the city's central Sükhbaatar Square, where he sat with Mongolia's President Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh.
“It’s a blessing, we are very happy to see him in Mongolia, we never thought he would come here,” Ming Baldorg, 33, told NBC News. “We are all surprised. We are shocked but very happy.”
