The seven member American team from FBC-Athens arrived on their weather-delayed flight from Munich. We are anticipating a great week of working together. Five members of the group have been here before but we know it won't be long before the two rookies will learn to love Latvia as we all do.
Just a few pictures of trying to get all of the luggage into Aivars car. Olegs eventually arrived with our van and we were off to the train station for a quick bite to eat (solanka, of course!). We caught the 9:00pm train to Cesis, got the luggage transferred to the Putninkrogs Hostel and got everyone a good place to sleep.
Next up will be the church services at Cesis Baptist Church at 12:00 and then an afternoon of sightseeing and publicizing the week's events in Cesis (basketball camp, music camp, Summer Slam night activities, etc.)
The biggest shock so far to the Texans has been the weather: today's high will be 63 with the low a crisp 45! I haven't heard any complaints because these guys have been baking in 100 degree Texas heat for the last few weeks.
