it was such a blessing to have the shiloh team here and to serve alongside them and a wonderful team from czech!
this week i received one of the coolest compliments of my time here in latvia. it was nothing huge, but it was perfect timing and came across heartfelt and sincere. i had gotten to know a girl named madara (pictured below on the right) pretty well during the week, and as we were leaving grobiņa she told me, "labi ka tu dzīvo latvijā" (which basically means "its good that you live in latvia"). she repeated it a few times as i was saying goodbye to her and i cant tell you what it meant to me to hear that from a latvian! it was one of the most encouraging things anyone has ever said to me. i know ultimately, im here to serve the Lord, but it was cool hear that someone i had only met a few days earlier appreciated me, you know?
here are a few of my favorite pictures from the week...
what a great end to the summer!
thank you to everyone for all of your prayers and support!!!
