Thought I'd update everyone with some free wifi today!
We made it to Latvia and are having an amazing time. I love this country so much, it's absolutely beautiful and has so much history to enjoy (I will try to post pictures soon!). We have had the privilege of working with a team that has a cafe open to prostitutes two nights and one day during the week. Making relationships with the girls is so important here and because we are only here for a month we get to do a lot of behind the scene things, such as baking for the cafe, making Valentine's Day cards for the girls, make rings out of buttons and wire, and most importantly praying for them and the streets of Riga on the nights the cafe is open. It's cold yes and sometimes tiring but I can say with a full heart-It's so so worth it!
Tomorrow we have the privilege of leading a church service in a beautiful church that a few years ago one of the teams from our base felt very led to pray over. It's amazing how my team and I get to see fruit from seeds planted a while back. I will be leading worship along with one of my teammates (one of the songs will be in Latvian, and I barely know latvian so that will be quite the experience haha!) and I also have the opportunity to speak along with some of the other girls. Please lift my team and I up in your prayers as we continue this journey in Latvia. I can't wait to share more experiences with all of you!
