big weekend is over; Tim is off to England

Well, we had a wonderful Regional Congress (11-year-anniversary of the SA being back in Estonia)! We are all soooo tired! Do we really need to get up and go to work tomorrow?

But everything went well, and I think our people were really blessed. We also had several homeless friends attend some of the meetings, which was a special joy for me!

The final event of the weekend was an Open-Air Meeting at the Lines. (If you've read the Wittenbergs' blog, you've heard about it before!)

Too tired to write about it all, but at the very end a man got angry (wasn't given as much soup as he wanted, something confusing like that). He threw bread (sounds trivial, but it was LEIB! I don't know how to make it sound as serious as it felt to some Estonians -- bread is special).

So, it wasn't eggs (!), but we did feel that we must have stepped on the devil's tail for him to be giving such a "yelp!"

I just finished reading Chaotic Order, so thoughts from that book are mingling with all the events of this weekend in a really chaotic way in my mind!

I don't think anyone lives legally at the Lines; they are squatters. I don't think it would be possible to move into the Lines even if it was our plan. But it still feels awful to me to go there and do this hit-and-run soup-and-salvation thing. But would it be better to not go at all?! At least they got some soup and bread today -- some to eat while listening to the band and some to take with them.

No answers. Just lots of questions!

Please pray for Tim (Captain Clark to you kids!) and Captain Anya Henderson (from Narva) as they travel to Sunbury Court this evening.

And please pray for the man who threw the bread, and also our dear pensioner who got hit with the bread!
