Latvia 2011 Day 3

Today was our second day of VBS. It is going really well for the most part. My dad and I are working with the youth and most of them are in the middle school age range. So it goes without saying that they require patience and unconditional love... especially the boys. I have to say though, it is much easier for me to do these two things now than a few years ago. Today after VBS we had a prayer time with all of the workers and I had a good cry. My heart (more than ever)  is breaking for the life our kids are choosing. I have no words for them, but thankfully God does. After preparing for tomorrow's lesson, we took a walk around Jelgava. There are lots of new and renovated things to see and it was great. I got some awesome 'Jelgava souvenirs', and we had a very good meal at Cili Pica (a pizza type place). God is good and neither of us have been experiencing serious jet lag. Although I'm quite awake for it being 11:23 in the evening. Oh well. I will sleep on the plane. We miss you all and speak of you often. We talk about the 'old days': staying up till 2:00, walking to the phone booth, getting sugar high off LV Coke-Colla, Jo-Jo marshmellow, showers stopping and walls falling... the question game... I could go on and on. Enough nostalgia, it is time for bed. Here are some pictures from today.
