Võru
I had a busy day helping Captain Ave Kalme get her things to her new apartment in Võru, where the Army will open its next corps. There were a few snags, but overall she was able to get everything in place. She doesn't officially begin work there until 20 August, and will be returning to Tallinn shortly to attend some classes. Please keep her in your prayers as she begins this new work.
They already have a corps building for her (something we are so happy about, because it has been difficult for us without one). It is in the basement of a large row of shops in a large concrete building typical of the Soviet era. It needs some work before it is in shape, but it is in a great location in the center of town and has lots of space for a chapel, a kitchen, an office and meeting rooms. I have included some pictures below. We are hoping that we will be so fortunate when we finally have a building of our own.
I spoke with Evelyn, and things are going pretty well at the camp, although she has quite a cold (I could hardly recognize her voice on the phone!). She is doing crafts and Bible study with the children, so that can be quite a challenge with translation. I ask that you also keep her in your prayers as she deals with a cold while also trying to take care of her responsibilities at camp.
