Tallinn Update from Dick Read

Hi Everyone,

We arrived in a rainy Tallinn around 4 p.m. yesterday. All of the students here came to pick us up at the airport along with Mal. It was really great to see everyones faces and they were very excited about our arrival.

We had a six hour layover in Stoãkholm yesterday so we took the train into town. It was very cool, the train traveled at over 100 mph and was VERY smooth. The city was beautiful. It was cold and rainy but we still enjoyed it very much. We got to go into old town and see the palace and just enjoyed the experience. (Not to mention all the very pretty blonde girls!)

Last night we went to a small restaurant in the supermarket. It was very tasty and it was great to catch up with all of the college students. A young girl from Generation 2 (the Youth Group from Baltic Mission Center) had her birthday party last night so a few of us went to the Methodist house to celebrate with her. It was so nice getting to see lots of my old friends at he party. We went back to the church about 10:30 p.m. and it was RAINY!!

This morning we are at the Lighthouse and just hanging out with the kids. The sun recently came out and we are going to go eat in Old Town this afternoon as well as sight seeing.

I am looking forward to tonight because Rachel and Emily are singing at the Generation 2 worship service. And for those of you that know them you know that they are no Celine Dion. It is going to be GREAT!!

All is well here and we are all very excited to be here. I hope to hear from you all and i will write again in the next couple of days.

God Bless,
David Read
