Hey friends.

I thought that i will write you a little bit, what i have been up to during the last week. I have been to Valga for longer now and i am finally used to it. I like it here. At least i know, where my home is now. I guess i will start writing from the last Friday.

On the last Friday we had free food give away. We shared food to people, who lived in bad conditions or had big families. I really felt, that this is so right thing to do and this is something that Jesus would to, when He would be here. It felt sad and happy at the same time. Sad, because i felt, how much God loves them and wants to know them, but i did not have much more to give them than some food and smile... I wish i had more time to share them about the love of God but maybe next time. It made me happy, because i saw that they were happy about the free food. Have you ever thought, how less do you need to make someone happy (or at least smile). The things, that seem so elementary like food and home and clothes to wear can mean so much to someone. When you have these things then please, don´t go to bed tonight without saying thanks to God. There are so many people around you who would give their life to give these things to their children.

Here is some pictures taken this day (sorry for bad quality)

At the same night we had also American night with the youths. It was great night to get to know them better and just hang out and play some games. We also had Hot seat-like interview where they had chance to get to know us better and ask different questions.


On the Sunday we went on several graduation ceremonies. Some of the local youths graduated basic school (9th grade). It was good to celebrate with them. On the other days we were working on the day time and in the evening we usually play table games or then play basketball or volleyball.

I also got to know, how powerful and necessary it is to take time and speak to the Lord and ask for His strength. On the day before yesterday i felt really tired and i felt like i have lost my focus completely. One of my good friends, Käthlin was here in Valga and we spent some time and spoke, but i could not speak anything... Most of her speak went in from one ear and came out from the other. I felt physically really weak. I thought that maybe eating will help me a little bit. I tried to eat, but i could´nt. So Käthlin said, that i should take some time to read Bible. When i got back to church i went, fell down on my knees and prayed. At first it did´nt help much but later i realized, that its an enemy attack. I started to tell him to get out of my life in the name of Jesus and i told him that my body and life belongs to Christ and Valga belongs to Christ. After a while it was all gone. I felt free.  Satan is really afraid of the name of Jesus.  He does not like, when we speak His name, cause he knows, that it is stronger than any other name and that´s why he tries to stop us.

So yesterday i still felt tired, but it was so much better then. We had meeting with Innar and Siiri. They also took Risttee intern with them. Her name is Caroline. She is also from North Caroline and she goes to the same church that Chris and Laura used to go back in States.
So we had meeting and after that we had lunch with them.
On the evening we had game night with youths at Chris and Laura´s place.

Today we were working in the morning and in the evening we went to play volleyball and football.
I had a great chance to play football with some Russian youths who showed up, when we started to play football. We invited them to the English Camp and hopefully they will show up there ;) Lets hope and pray for the best. This morning i also had a weird dream. I saw the Bible Days event. It was not regular, because it took place in Tallinna lauluväljak (biggest concert place in Estonia.) There were thousands and even more youths there... The weird thing about this is that the next bible days take place in Tallinn.

 So this is how my life goes right now. I really need your prayers, because it has so much stronger power, than we can ever imagine. There is spiritual war going on and specially when we share the gospel and the name of Jesus.
You could pray for strength to focus on God even when the difficult times come. You could pray for not only me but for all of the Valga team (Nate, Chris and Laura).

Thats all for now. Can´t wait to write you again, what God is doing and how big is His name.
Stay blessed.
Ciao!
