What's Up?
Faithful reader Pene Piip reminded us after Estonian language class today that we are behind on updating our blog!
I told her, it's hard to know if that is because we have absolutely nothing to write about, or because we have too much going on to have time to write!
Well, you guessed it; it is the latter reason! So here is a smattering of what we've been up to lately.
I have Estonian languages classes for about 10 hours a week now. Wish it could be more! I go for three classes with Tim, and two (completely different) classes with Chris.
We are really excited about the likelihood that we will soon be opening a Homeless Day Center here, in a building most recently used by Reinu Pizza to make frozen pizzas!
We went to Tallinn and Narva last week; it is always good to see our friends there! We had business and planning meetings in Tallinn, always important stuff to take care of! We went to Narva for a corps Love Feast, and it was a very special time together with our Russian-speaking brothers and sisters.
Two of my homeless friends came to Women's Camp with me, and now they have been attending our Sunday afternoon Praise Meeting! Hurray!
Chris spent the weekend in Tallinn on a Mission Team trip.
On Saturday afternoon, I took the kids to Aura water park. Elizabeth played with her best friend from across the street, Etthel (and some of her girlfriends!), while Peter played with Karl-Gustav, who had come to spend the weekend with us.
Well, we have lots of great pictures to show you, but that will have to wait for another time. Meanwhile, I'll leave you with the sign I brought to the Homeless Shelter last night (we always go on Sunday evenings to do a little devotional time there). Of course, the paper I brought last night was in Estonian, but here's the translation:
The Salvation Army
Homeless Day Center
Every Day
1:30-7:30 p.m.
Puiestee 114
(Reinu Pizza building)
October 6???
Please pray for us!
