A month away!

I haven't posted in a month. Not sure why. A ton has been going on, but I think the holidays and all that contains really wore me down. The family has been fighting a lot of sickness the last few weeks, coughs, stomach flu and other fun stuff. Alex one night had some breathing problems and we had to call the ambulance to come and check him out. He got a shot and was okay. Its not a big deal to call the ambulance in Estonia, they often prefer that from coming to the hospital if its not super serious, plus kids have free health care so it didn't cost anything.

The church has been doing really well. Christmas Eve service was in a tent. It went great. It was a crazy set up and tear down process, but what a day! It never really got warm in the tent with the heaters, but everyone there enjoyed it. We also had a retreat for the whole church a few weekends ago. It was amazing. i stood in the back and thought, "Wow, we are a REAL church!" Not that we were before, but God let me see things from his persepective for a while and its really been life changing. I am so excited about the next few months as we head towards the spring!

Some cool news is we finally bought some tickets so we will be back in the states, from May 15-June 22. Its going to be the longest time we have been away in 6.5 years. We hope to take things easy and spend some time with all of you precious people that have meant so much to us. We will be putting our schedule together soon and split our time between Youngstown and Columbus, visit some family in Texas and who knows were else. IF you would like to see us, let us know and maybe we can fit it in. Any readers in Chicago, we have 5 hours on the way and out of the country, so maybe we can grab a meal together out by O'hare. Let us know.

Thats it for now, check back soon!
