Change Is In the Airformerly "Lydia's Latvian Blog."

Chris and I went to Riga yesterday for the day… all day. The main reason we went was to hear Benny Prasad play. What a treat that was. His testimony of God’s amazing faithfulness and blessing was so encouraging. And then there was the music. He’s created his own guitar, which sounds so cool, especially when he plays Indian style music with it. Benny is with YWAM as well, and many of us went out for pizza after the concert. He was so real and funny. It was a great time.

Of course, we also got to see a number of our friends who live in Riga… Elita, Diaga, Dace, KC, Elise, Cheryl… and more. We also got to touch base with an outreach that is here that Andis has been translating for the last 7 weeks. I can’t wait to catch up with him and hear about all the things the God has been doing in his life.

We stayed at Cheryl’s place last night and has some good conversation with her last night and this morning before out bus left to come home. We were only gone for about 30 hours, but it felt like 3 days. In the midst of our time there we had some really intense discussion with some of our friends about their faith and decisions they’re making.

When we got home our dear kitty, Saulite, went nuts. I think she was lonely without us! She’s finally calming down now.

My garden is doing well. I did have to bring all my tomatoes and cucumbers in the house for the night as we’re supposed to have frost tonight. Odd, since it was so warm and beautiful yesterday. I have one cucumber plant that I’ve been growing in the house which has taken off and I’m so excited about it. I think it’s the best plant I have of all of them!
