I don't think I can say it enough, but it is so good to be back here. I just feel so, so blessed to be among these people and sharing life with them once again. As I sat in the front row at church on Sunday, I looked around at all the wonderful people surrounding me and thought how much I love them. They are just some of my favourite people! At the same time though, my heart was already starting to ache at the thought of having to say goodbye. But, I don't want to dwell on the thought of having to leave eventually, rather I want to soak in each moment that I have here.

Life here is simple, yet far from relaxing. Our schedules are full with readers during the day, and visiting with old friends and readers during the evening. As we have all been here before, there are many, many people that we want to see and spend time with. I wouldn't have it any other way though! It's all about relationships here ... life revolves around people - our readers, our friends, church members, each other. And I LOVE that! Yesterday was a perfect example - all 3 of us had a fairly full day of readers, yet in between readers, we had our dear friends Triin & Iiris, Ave and Jaime over for tea and a visit at the church building. After our day of reading was over, we headed home to spend the evening with two other good friends, Mare and Peeter. We ate awesome food together, played Catch Phrase and laughed a lot. I love how life here is simply about being with people and building and strengthening relationships with them.

So basically, I am absolutely and entirely content with where I am right now! I can see God's fingerprints all over many things about our project in Estonia, and I know that we are here for a reason. I feel blessed to be here, and am so thankful to the people that have made this possible for me and the rest of my team. I'll write more later, specifically more about some of my readers. It has been a challenge in some ways with a few of my readers so far - but I know that God is stretching and growing me through these experiences. And for that I am thankful!
