CHASE BOWERS AND SIGULDA

As we mentioned in an earlier post, Chase Bowers, wife Laura and children Nate and Maddie are visiting with us this week. We have had a great (but busy) time.

On Sunday, Chase preached at Cesis Baptist and then spoke again at the Youth Concert later that night. Monday, just the two of us went to Riga to speak at the Latvian Inter-Varsity Fellowship group meeting. Tuesday was Cesis Boys' Prison day followed by our regular Youth Meeting on Wednesday night. Chase has done a great job in reaching out to the students and adults of Cesis. He has been here before at a few of the summer sports camps so he knows some of the kids and a little bit of the culture.

Today (Thursday) was sight seeing day so we headed over to Sigulda. Our town of Cesis in now 802 years old and Sigulda is 801. Both are very similar but we enjoy a day visit to Sigulda whenever possible. Cesis is about 30 minutes from Sigulda by the train.

We had a great time and it was good to relax for a while. Tomorrow we are back to Riga to meet with Pastor Olegs.

Here are a few random shots from today's visit:
