Worship

Most recently we we have been delighted that some of the youth from the board school have joined us for worship. One Sunday we had 32 people (our normal is about 15 or so), and the following Sunday we were 42!! This number included 17 from the boarding school, three neighbors who usually don't come, and several members who have not been around for awhile. The kids from the boarding school have been helping to lead worship and read the scriptures. It is great to see how open to the Lord they are. Some of these same kids will likely be able to come this summer when our Calvin team comes to Tilza for Adventure Camp.


Pictured at left is Maureen (in the middle). She and her husband, Wes, have joined our team. They originally came out to Tilza because Wes was working on learning Latvian and we had the best place to do that.

Wes and I are still having class three mornings a week and for both of us progress is still pretty slow. But my roommate, Liga, is a patient teacher. Most every day now, we try to read from the Bible and we are finding that it helps alot.
