Latvia 2011 Day 7

Today was our annual trip into Riga to buy souvenirs. It is always fun to see what has changed, and what is wonderfully the same. We shopped till we dropped and met our dear Liene Svoka at the airport. She is just returning from a six month mission trip to Bolivia. I haven't seen her in two years (how has it been that long?) but it is like not time has past. This has to be one of my favorite things about Latvia and the people here. There is something so special about the bond you share with people whom you have served along side of. Tonight after we returned from Riga, we met Galina, Nora, Arturs, Arturs R., and his bride to be Inta for dinner. We had a fantastic evening full of great food, and lots of laughter (Liene- Agrita and I were so wishing you were there!). It was a very full day, and I'm so looking forward to being in our church and seeing the church body!

There is usually one kid in particular I get attached to. This is Brunis. Please pray for his salvation. I wish I could hide him in my suit case.
