Update #1

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas we had two opportunities to celebrate. The first was Vikors' baptism which took place at the pool of the Ergli Hotel. Three others were also baptized. Vikors, who is Gintis' cousin, became a Christian last Spring. He and Gintis have been working at Eagles Wings Camp and have become a part of the newly formed Ergli church. They both attend Bible studies and youth meetings.

Gintis celebrated his 18th birthday with lots of friends from the Ergli area and all of us from Tilza. Katie had made a slide show of his life and we all had dinner at the hotel in Ergli.
