In spite of the fact that much of our scheduled summer changed at last minute, July (and early August) was a very busy month. Matt spent much of the month helping to build a playhouse in the back yard of the Viimsi Church. Then in the last week of August we all headed south with two teens from Viimsi – Martin and Kadri – to help the Antsla Church with their annual summer kids’ camp. Almost 90 kids this year!
This year we have been trying to move closer to Viimsi but we have been stymied all summer long. Then, unexpectedly we found a very well priced and well placed project in Tallinn’s city center. The house is nicely renovated but the apartments need complete renovation. We’ve applied for a mortgage and made our bid. Hopefully in the next few weeks we’ll know if everything goes through. If it does, we’ll be building for the next few months. Please pray for this process. Here are some pictures of the house and apartment pre-purchase. If we get the loan, we’ll upload more pictures as the project progresses.
Today we’ve just returned from Viimsi Church’s 85th anniversary celebration and are heading to Saaremaa (Estonia’s pastoral island getaway) for a few days of rest and recuperation. Stay tuned!
