June 21

This morning there was a meeting for the children’s camp that Courtney was coordinating that will be happening at Camp Wesley while we are in Russia.  We had time to read again this morning and after lunch as well and Romans even taught us a little Russian as we prepared lunch.  Around 3pm we headed back to Riga by bus with Romans and Agate and two other ladies who needed to return to Riga.  Romans wife was coming back from England so the were coming to pick her up form the airport and both he and Agate were very excited to see her as it had been a while.  It was a quiet evening in Riga after a day of travel.  Hadley, a friend of Dan and Courtney’s through school friends who is teaching in Lithuania, was in town visiting so he stayed with us for the night and the five of us had a lovely meal at home that Dan prepared. We had chicken, rice, cucumbers & mushrooms, bread and this wonderful tomato & garlic mixture that Courtney made (on top of the bread it resembles bruchetta). It definitely hit the spot.  We watched a little soccer and were able to talk on the phone a little before calling it a night.  Traveling always makes you very tired. It was so good to be able to talk to people back home and hear familiar voices :) We really appreciate everyone’s support and prayers and your thoughts are such an encouragement to us!
