Greetings from Tallinn

Hello from rainy Tallinn.  We started out from Voru this morning after another visit with the Kants who stopped by our hotel.  The drive north to Tallinn took about three and a half hours, with rain off and on along the way.  We met Viktor's son Andre, who helped us to our hotel and then gave him the van we have been using all week.  Kristina, from Aseri, has been with us all week, and we said our goodbyes to her this afternoon.  She was a tremendous help.

We had a late lunch and spent the late afternoon and evening wandering around the streets of Old Tallinn.  It is a beautiful, colorful, and old city.  Town Hall was built in 1404.  We got a bird's eye view of the city by climbing one of the church's bell tours, went in the Russian Orthodox church, stopped in some shops, and ate dinner at a medieval restaurant.

We ended the evening at the hotel with a time of prayer for Estonia and for those we've met this week.

Tomorrow we head to the Baltic Mission Center at 10:30 to meet with Taavi Hollman, the District Superintendent of Estonia.  We will also tour the church and seminary located within the Center.

It's late and we're off to bed....

May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us -
yes, establish the work of our hands.
