Congress
This weekend we were in Helsinki for the Finland and Estonian Territorial Congress. It was a good experience for all of us. Chris enjoyed the opportunity to see his friends from Mission Team. Elizabeth enjoyed the children's meetings that took place during the regular meetings and Peter enjoyed being admired by dozens of older Finnish women throughout the weekend.
It was interesting to see that the number of people in the territory is probably half of what we had in the Pendel Division, where we were in America before we came to Estonia. This made it easier to see people, especially the General, who was the special guest for the weekend.
Karl-Gustav came with us and seemed to really enjoy the weekend, and seeing some of the Finnish officers who visited his family in the past few years.
It is always enjoyable to be a part of a big celebration, but the best part is always coming home (even if Evelyn and I have homework in our Estonian language class)!
