Estonia Camp Gideon Team, Sunday, June 29, 2008

We had a really great day today! We started out with a really great breakfast at the hotel in Tallinn then drove to Parnu where we attended church at the Agape UMC. The drive was about 1 1/2 hours and we got to see some really beautiful scenery.

The worship service this morning was really nice. Miare lead the service and Ullas Tankler preached the sermon. Our youth presented a children's message. I gave a greeting from our team and Asbury. They all want you all to know that they sincerely appreciate our relationship with them.

After church we had lunch with Tonu, Kulli and Miare. Guess what! We had pizza again today. It was great though and we had a really great visit.

We filled up our van on diesel as we were leaving Parnu. $9.86 / gal.!!!!! And we think that we have it bad in the US.

The drive from Parnu to Camp Gideon was a little over 3 hours and was a beautiful drive. The farm land and forest is really pretty this time of year. We must have seen a hundred "Moose Crossing" signs but never saw a moose. The morning was totally clear but we drove in rain for the last half of the trip. It's clear here at camp though. The temperature is a bit cool but is really refreshing. Sunset was at exactly 11:30 this evening.

We are all settled in at camp. We've met everyone and gotten all of our assignments. We participated in the opening worship this evening. Tomorrow will be the start of the real work.
We will send another update tomorrow and I will try to have one of our youth send the message.

Thanks for your prayers and God bless.
Kevin and the team
