Well I got my first parking ticket here in Latvia right outside church. They actually don't have my info since it was Scott runzo's car. I will figure out how to pay this instead of having Scott have an unexpected surprise.

Winter camp

Yummy !!! pig ears anyone

I was able to be apart of a winter camp recently with a church outside of Riga in Jelgava ( pronounced yelgava). There was about 30 kids that came so that is a good turn out for something like this. This camp was a blast to be able to hang out with the kids and just get to know them and them to get to know me. The kids were so easy going really fun to be with. One of the games we played was basically fear factor they had to eat pig ears . Well they got me to go up there and eat some of it WAY GROSS!!!

there is still sun

Today was a beautiful gorgeous day the Lord made!!! I saw the sun which I have not see the fullness of the sun since I left Arizona. It was a pleasant change to be able to open the shades on the widow to allow the sun to shine in the room. All is going great will update soon I wanted to share my highlight for the day.

Youth group

I had the opportunity to go and be apart of a youth night. This was amazing on so many levels. The first part of the night was a youth night party I was able to meet quite a few youth during the night. Also they even had me participate in a few games one I had to say everyone in the circle their names. Well these kids I had not yet even meet so I was just making up names. Then they had me put many cookies in my mouth and still be able to say some Latvian word, well I could never say it before we started i think they just looked funny trying to say the word so they had me keep trying . The night was a huge encouragement to be able to meet this kids. The second part of the night was a prayer night from 10pm-6am and kid you not this was double the amount of people than there was at party. There was realistically 70 youth there to pray and be in fellowship with one another how awesome is that!!! The only person who was not a youth was the pastor. The party had around 30 youth so a significant increase. This night greatly encouraged me to see the youth of Riga coming together to pray for 8hours.
Scott put it in a good way by saying we are youth planters instead of church planters. Coming alongside youth groups to help them really become youth groups and this got me excited as well. So like I said before that journey begins, I'm so excited as God is with me on this incredible journey.
