This morning was a good time to sleep in since we'll be rising at 6 AM every morning for the rest of the week! We met downstairs around 9 AM for breakfast in the hotel restaurant. They are serving a free breakfast buffet....some things I recognized....some things I did not! Those items....we stay
ed away from....so it was a good ole egg, bacon, toast, coffee, OJ kind of deal. Not the Waffle House....but we were thankful!
All 6 of us walked along the water (river) to Risttee Church. We all saw new friends, old friends, and just jumped right in to help! They have to do the "move everything in", setup, church, and break everything down deal. Peep, the Pastor at Risttee, was incredible...reminding us tha
t we focus so much on the things we are most satisfied in....and why is that most of the time NOT God?
It was time for lunch....went to a local pub/cafe, ate this amazing FRIED garlic bread stuff, took a group shot at the town square fountain and simply walked all around touring and playing!
We met at the hotel at 6 PM for our prayer time and planning for this week. Here's where the fun starts.....old friends, Daniel, Timo, Kadi, Helena, Hannah, etc with about 20 other Estonians came to our hotel. We introduced ourselves, planned the events for the week, made the sandwiches to hand out for tomorrow (assembly line...300 sandwiches), and prayed together. It was a sweet, fun time.
"Karunadal", aka Bear Week, starts this week. It is the University student's second week on campus. We will setup tables at the entrance to the bridges onto campus and possibly one other location. We'll be telling them about the pub nights with Alex Nyfong, movie nights, and Lift (the Friday night church gathering for college students).
So...here's how you can pray for tomorrow:

So...here's how you can pray for tomorrow:
- Pray that students will be drawn to our hearts and ask WHY are we like we are?
- Pray that Risttee students will be able to juggle their time on campus as well as outreach to these students
- Pray that students will get the fliers and join us at the night gatherings.
- Pray for our team to have endurance and unity
