Christmas Day
We had a full day on Christmas, but it was a great way to celebrate the Saviour's birth! We began with a worship service, and by the end of the meeting had 46 in attendance. After that, we had "open doors day": a meal for anyone who wanted to come in on Christmas Day. We planned for around 200 people, and I think we came pretty close to that number.
Like for the corps Christmas party, the chapel was filled with people sharing in the best communion of all: a meal shared in Christ's name. You can see Elle, our social worker who organized the meal, serving some of the food.
After our meal, we headed to the house run by Mother Theresa's Sisters of Charity. Our band had been invited to play there for the people the sisters would be feeding that day. Our trumpet player lives at the house, and the sisters are so thrilled that he is a part of our band that they wanted to have him play there. Sister Andrea was even kind enough to hold Major Tyrrell's music while he played.
Major Tyrrell shared about the love of Christmas while Evelin translated.

hey,
It has been a while since I have read your blog...I don't know if you remember me but I had sent you a letter a while ago. I hope everything is going well and I am still praying for you. I love the pictures. I think its so cool and interesting seeing the differences between what goes on and how the army works here in New York compared to Estonia.
God Bless

Great pictures! Hope you had a good family Christmas, too. And Happy New Year!
It seems you have had a beautiful and fulfilling Christmas in Tallinn. Praise God. He is so faithful and full of joy to share, I see it in these Photo's. Katti Burgmayer was remembering the time she had with Evelin and Annoli watching them dance. She was reminded of there beauty and the fragrance of passionate love when dancing. We prayed for both of them as they continue to grow, and learn from God's servants. Again, praise God. WE are praying for you even as you pray during this week of prayer.
