Let me catch you all up!

"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.”- Romans 1:16

Today we have 12 more days until we board our plane for Portland; how quickly time flies. I can't believe how quickly this summer has gone, I feel like I just said goodbye to Becki and Major at Newark Airport.

Last week we had Tallinn Kopli Corps Camp at Loksa. Once again, our precious cooks, Olga, Kersti, Tiiu and Sirie took very good care of us. Please never underestimate the power of a smile or willing hands, I believe that is how we have built our relationship with these women, as none of them speak English. The food they make is different to what our american palates are used to, but it is very delicious. Whoever would have known that rice for breakfast was appertising?

Saturday we had off, and so went took a walk into the beautiful city of Tallinn where there was a Medievil Market, very fun, some of our loved ones may even receive sovenirs from this market.

Sunday we had church at the Corps where the Word was brought to us by Jenn; my girls amaze me, they are beautiful, even more so when they share their heart for Jesus.

Monday we had some of our first sicknesses, to date we had only had minor illnesses, but Monday we had some of the girls need to take a moment to themselves. We praise God that they are all better, Hallelujah!

While some of the girls stayed home to recuperrate, the rest of us headed to Mother Theresa's house, a house belonging to the Sisters of Charity. They focus their work on homeless men, most of them homeless as a result from addictions. Four wee women run the work there, but you would struggle to find stronger women. Small in stature, but mighty in spirit!

In the afternoon we attended to some projects in the Kopli Corp; uniform sorting, donation sorting, cleaning, etc. You should have seen the girls as they tried on uniforms from days of old or the surprise on their faces as they found unusual items that had been donated.

Tuesday was a repeat of Monday minus the illnesses, YIPPEE! Wednesday took us to Loksa once more; I tell you, I think I could drive to Loksa with my eyes closed! LOL. This week is Junior Soldiers camp and so the girls and I spent the day with 11 young people who have either become or are on the way to becoming Junior Soldiers; whether playing games or lounging on the beach at Loksa, the day was a joy.

Keep the words coming, we enjoy them; we are also looking forward to seeing you all again, in 12 days time.
