news from latvia

We’re delighted to announce the baptism of AIGARS, LUDMILA, AINA, EDUARDS, VALERIJ K, AGRIS, ANITA, VALERIJ B, VIKTOR, VOLODYA, VALYA, LARISA, INESA and NATASHA; and at the refugee camp, Brothers V and S. May the Lord be with them all the journey through, to His Kingdom.

In Latvia it is now minus 20 degrees! All asylum seekers are completely frozen. I try to do on Sundays what I can for feeding people; I hope that people are satisfied.

I have had so many problems, including difficulties from my former church. I am thinking of trying to get a job abroad, please pray for me in my plans.

I am writing this from Germany and so looking forward to returning home in March. My hope is in our Lord and I know that whatever happens, He is with me and has a purpose prepared for me. When I came here we were promised 1000 Euros / month, but they say there’s not enough work for us because of the financial crisis, so in total I am paid only 207 Euros / month after all the deductions, of which we were not informed.

I find myself more willing to hear the word of God than to speak it to others. I excuse myself because I consider myself to be shy, and excuse myself because of age, illness etc. But I know that I must try to be more sharing with others of the Gospel.

Sis. Irena

Again I send my greetings to you all, and remind you again that I would so love to be with you, but it is too far for me to travel from Kraslava to Riga, after my operations I really don’t go out anywhere. But I read the magazine from cover to cover, several times, and think of you all.
