As many of you know, I have often spoke about the fact that I was a missionary that would soon be moving to the Baltic nation of Estonia. Well that time is upon us. My family will leave on June 11 to move all that we are and all that we own to Tallinn, the capital. Anyway, I ask for your prayers (if you are a praying person) for my family (especially the two kids - ages 5 yrs and 21 mos) to have a safe trip. I look forward to re-connecting over there in a few days. I will probably be off-line here by Monday. see ya in a few days, God Bless, Clint
Best wishes for a safe, enjoyable, and meaningful mission experience. You will be close to Finland, Sweden, etc., which sounds like fun. I loved Europe (Germany, Czecholsovakia). In fact Praha (Prague) was one of my favorite cities. Beautiful original buildings, wonderful culture. Sighhhh. Germany had the world's best beer though. Hope you reconnect with us soon. North
My wife's roommate for two years at Vassar was an Estonian exchange student. Our brief visit to Tallinen in 2000 persuaded us that this lady was far from being the only bright, attractive, friendly Estonian. Once you're a bit settled in, it would be wonderful* if you could drop by the rather peculiar (my opinion) international distance learning university that is ostensibly based there. ________ * Perhaps for all but our friend Larry Flegle who teaches there.
Clint, May our Lord's grace be with you as you travel to Estonia. I trust you have a wonderful experience while living there, and that your labors are fruitful. I love the words of God to Joshua, "As I was with Moses I will also be with you." Walk in his strength my brother!
We survived the trip!!! Thanks to you for your prayers and thoughts. We all arrived safely, though exhausted. Boy, 2 kids on a plane for 18 hrs.... We didn't even lose any luggage later, clint
