Great ambitions

Hi Friends and Family,
I had grand ambitions of posting a true update with more than just a link to a photo album, but as it is, it is midnight, and our bus leaves Tartu tomorrow morning at 6:45. If any of our buses have wireless, I may post from there. We have had a very relaxing week in Tartu, and will return to a very busy last 6 weeks of school. I will let you know better how you can pray for us in the next post.
Thank you for all of your prayers and support (both moral and financial!) -- it is much appreciated!
More soon.

Laura


PS....here is a link to the last few photos of Tartu, and here is a link to reflections of Hannah and Eva's visit (which was not only over in a blink, but already seems so long ago! Time flies).

Tartu, Estonia

Here is a link to the first of our pictures in Tartu.

And here are 5 of them, if you don't have time to go through the album (bonus: the one of Steve below).

A symbol of Tartu: A statue called the Kissing Students


Tartu University's main building, St John's Church, and a couple of backpackers.


The Town Hall, and to the left is where we are staying.


And, a couple of pictures with people in them:

Always fun to travel with Steve

photo albums 2 and 3

Here are a couple more albums from when Hannah and Eva were here.
Here.
And here. These are ones that Eva posted on facebook. Not too sure if this link will work.

We are posting this from Tartu, Estonia. It is so good to be on break. We are taking this week to lay low and relax. My body is so used to working though, that I woke up at 8am, ready to be awake. We'll see if this lasts through the week. ;)
I will post some pictures from Tartu soon. It is such a cute city. We love Estonia!

Photo Album number 1

Hi Everyone,
Our long-awaited visitors have come and gone. We had a really full week, and it went by in a blink! It was so wonderful to have familiar faces from home here! We had a lot of fun showing them our part of the world. Some of the highlights: Klaipeda, Riga, Vilnius, Trakai, The Baltic Sea, Lithuanian Cuisine, Rain melting winter away, Bus rides, etc!
We took lots of photos....here is the link to the first album. Hopefully will be able to blog more soon!
