  • The Casey's and the Turner's are here and busy working. They've been helping with our English/Bible studies and our regular classes have continued.


    Our 'clowns' got together for class on Tuesday and the girls sewed all day on Thursday before we had our devotional and shared a meal together. We are almost finished with our drawstring bags for the homeless shelter... just have to add the cords and fill them with toiletries, socks and other goodies. Prayerfully, we'll be ready to deliver those in the next few weeks, just in time for the cold weather to settle in. Our next service project will be making baby booties for the new Christian Crisis Pregnancy Center that will be opening here in September.


    Kayli and I enjoyed a day out with our Texas girls on Wednesday. Did a bit of shopping, found a couple of 'old treasure' shops (where Margie found an itty-bitty beer stein from Narva to use as a toothpick holder), ate Estonian pancakes at a quaint little coffee shop in Old Town and did a little walking in the square. It's always fun to have some 'girl' time every now and then.


    Friday, we all piled in the van and headed to Rakvere. The drive north is beautiful with green trees, meadows, lakes and rolling hills. On the way, we found tiny towns tucked in the trees and spotted several steeples which Brandi absolutely had to seek out. We always enjoy stopping and photographing the old churches of Estonia. The history in them is awesome.


    When we got to Rakvere, we re-discovered a neat little 'Inglise Pubi' where we sat in the garden and enjoyed a nice lunch before our hike up the hill to the castle ruins. The castle is only partially in tact but the courtyards are full of fun things to do and the rooms inside contain swords, helmets, and all sorts of implements to allow young ... and old ... imaginations to run wild.


        


         


       


         


        


    We pray that your day is full of things that spark your imagination and help you realize the awesome blessings of God.
