Estonia, Camp Gideon Team, Sat., June 28, 2008

Hello friends and family!

Greetings from Tallinn, Estonia!

Today was a pretty eventful day. We woke up at 8:30 a.m., and it didn't go so well with our internal clocks! We're still on Tulsa time but we're adjusting just fine, no worries here. Then we walked from our hotel to the Baltic Mission Center which houses the Baltic Methodist Seminary and and the Tallinn Methodist Church. After that we rode the trolly to the old part of Tallinn. It was stunning, unlike pretty much nothing we've ever seen in person before (except for those of us who have been to Tallinn before). We took so many pictures; Old Town is like one huge photo op! We had lunch at a place called Pizza Americana. The name is kind of misleading though because the pizza was definitely not "Americana". We then met up with a friend, Mall Tamm, who is the Director of Lighthouse Children's Center, where Asbury's other Estonia VIM team worked a week or so ago. She showed us around Lighthouse, ate ice cream with us, then led us back to the old part of Tallinn. This time, we purchased souvenirs and took even more pictures. It started raining a little this afternoon so we got a little damp. Dinner was at a Russian restaurant, then we headed back to our hotel to prepare for our day tomorrow. We're going to the church in Parnu and giving the kids who attend the church a Sunday school lesson. Then we'll head to Camp Gideon! We're so excited.

Thanks for your support and continued prayers.

Sincerely,
Erin Tresch and the rest of the crew.
