Us on the road; Jill, Tama, Harriet, Ilsa; Coffee and donuts; The Latvian Stork
Well folks, this is the last Blog for awhile. This computer will go in the work in Belarus. We had an outstanding time in Belarus. The friends their were a real encouragement to us. Anna 93, Rigina, Maria (worker), Vlada, Tanya, Nadeyshda, Slava (who now works in Moscow but came home for the weekend). Meetings on Sunday were special. We also got a tour from a man that is coming to meetings regularly. Into the cellars we went and learned a lot about the German occupation and how locals were held in this cellar before being hanged just outside where the museum is. The people of all these Baltic states suffered horrendously at the hands of the Germans. Then of course their life was no piece of cake with Stalin and the Russian control. Hitler or Stalin-What a choice. Our time was short, like in all of our other stops but every moment is precious to us. We are now back in Latvia and busing to Estonia this afternoon. We will see Dale and Martin there then go by ferry to Finland for a Wed. night bible study with Todd, Vicki and family. Thurs. Morning we catch a plane from Helsinki to Germany and home the same night. We are looking forward to being with our family before we head for CA. for convention next Monday. Whew!!!
Love in Him, Morrie and Jan
