Planning: s-l-o-w-l-y

So far, we have moved fairly slow on our plans. It's not that we don't have plenty of them (see previous blog posts) but it seems something always comes up.

With Olegs new baby, of course he has been busy. As soon as he gets time (we hope this week) we must get to Estonia for our visas. I think we can all have plenty of time to sit on the bus during the trip and get everything worked out together.

We have had to postpone our youth meetings for various reasons but we did have a good planning meeting with Tabita, Anete and Elise. We are trying to get as many viewpoints as possible on things such as best nights for the meetings, schedule, etc.

Laura's ladies' Bible study is going to start this week, even if it is just the two of us! This is not a negative on the Latvians because we sometimes move too fast as Americans but they can sometimes be very slow to decide things. Many of the ladies have requested that she offer the studies but it seems that they always want to talk about it for one more week. So, Laura thinks the church has studied this long enough ... our flat, 7:30p Wednesday...be there!

The photos today are of the planning meeting on Tuesday, some gooseberries that are now in-season and various photos of Laura and her friend Inese on a castle tour. The castle is really a beautiful place and something that this entire region of Cesis is proud of.
