Welcome back. It is at the end of a good day. We had a day camp with the children of the church and community. 10 kids came to join us for a day of fun. Rachel did a great job leading the whole day. Kate led the games with kids and we learned one another's names. Leigh did an awesome job with crafts. The bubble tools Leigh developed were a big hit. Jim and Scott did whatever else was needed and helped with everything else. It was great the Lord blessed us with sunshine and good weather.
Rachel shared throughout the day about how God created the world, sin separated us from God, and Jesus came to restore us to that relationship. Susan shared well how we need to respond to God's gift. We made salvation bracelets to make sure we understand the message and share it.
Kristina and Victoria did a great job leading the kids in song and doing what is necessary. They are great examples of Estonian youth committed to Christ.
We closed the day by going to Ira and Dimitri's house where they have a garden and they cooked out for us and shared their fresh vegetables. Their hospitality has been truly exceptional.
We will share pictures when we get back. It is really hard to do that here. Tomorrow we worship together. Jim will preach and we will share communion celebration. Tomorrow is also their harvest festival. This is the time of year for us like thanksgiving. After church we will have a large eating time and fellowship together. While the Aseri Community has hardships, this church is doing well with their commitment to Christ and reaching out.
We closed the night by going outside and looking at the stars over the Baltic sea. It is a full moon and you can see the stars well from here, even with the full moon. If you read this blog, pray for us as we follow Christ this week.
