On Friday, June 16th we will fly from Kiev to Tallinn, Estonia and take a two and a half hour bus ride to Tartu, Estonia's second largest city that is home to the largest and oldest university in the Baltics, established by Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus.

In Estonia our work will revolve around the church. We will meet with our members and new people on the Sabbath. On Sunday we hope to have an outing and perhaps a Bible Study. Our elder Henrikas Klovas will be coming up from Kaunas, Lithuania as well as Basil and Liza Kopey from Moscow. Otherwise, it will be mostly people from Tartu and a young man from Tallinn.

We also plan to visit the religious radio station that is the anchor for three sattelite stations around Estonia. From these studios there is continuous programming in Russian and Estonian. We have built up our Bible Study Course from advertising on this station three years back. We plan to resume our advertising in both Estonian and Russian and I plan to visit the manager of the station.

From Tartu we continue on Tuesday to Helsinki and then northern Finland were Karen refugees from Myanmar (Burma) have been given refuge. Here in Kemi, on the northernmost point of the Gulf of Bothnia we will visit this family that has migrated from the tropics to the arctic after being given citizenship by the Finnish government.

Finally our trip will wind up as we leave here for Helsinki, Stockholm and Mjolby in Sweden. More to come.....
