Here is short overview from five month in mission field.
Little missionary
Five month ago, 16th of July, Rasmus joined our mission team. First two month he asked 100% of our attention and energy, but now we all have some independent ministry times. Rasmus has goal to grow as quick as possible and during 4.5month he has grown from 52cm to 69cm. He has learnt how to turn from back to stomach, to play independently, to understand Estonian, Latvian, English and to speak a lot (can somebody translate for us?!). Part of his ministry is to make people to smile.
Kaspars’ studies
Kaspar is successfully received bachelor degree in sport science, but he needs to study two more years to graduate physiotherapy studies. During these last two years he is studying three professions – physiotherapist, sport educator and recreation manager. First and last is his choice and is really useful working with people with physical disabilities.
New apartment
There were some disagreements with our landlord what made us to look for other apartment. It came out that we found bigger (two bedrooms instead of one), nicer, warmer (20C instead of 15C), lower (5th floor instead of 6th) and a cheaper (!!!) one with contract for five years. Thank you, God for crisis in Latvia! 🙂 We moved in 31st of October and are still in process to get all the stuff out from boxes. Thank you for your prayers!
International Christian Social Project Sabile 2010
Last three years I (Evelyn) am been involved with humanitarian project what will happen every year during 9th week. Next year this project will take part in small town called Sabile from 28th of February till 7th of March, 2010. I am this project registrar for Latvian participants and helping to form and send out teams during outreach. Kaspar is leading program for people with mobile disabilities and are fully involved with teams. I am already started administrative part and we hope to be able to go to Sabile with family. Last year Rasmus liked what he was hearing during this project and hopefully it was good preparation to make this outreach familiar for him. 🙂 Please pray for good baby-sitter for Rasmus. 
Wings for Wheels – ministry for people with mobile disabilities
Summer camp “Challenge 2” went well and we have already started to plan next summer camp. It will be again in the same place Talsi in July 2-8, 2010. We already have chef confirmed :-). W4W ministry is still continuing with small groups (during cold season it is more challenging for people to get there) and with physiotherapy. Next year we are planning to start disability awareness meetings in churches. We do not know how it will exactly look like, but we feel that churches need to know that there are people with disabilities who are hungry for God.
Christmas vacation
21 of December, 2009 till 2 of January, 2010 we will be at Hiiumaa in Estonia and enjoying our Christmas vacation.
Thank you for your prayer and support!
Have a peaceful Christmas and a blessed New Year!

[:et]Siin on lühike ülevaade meie viimase viie kuu tegemistest.
Rasmus
Rasmus saabus meie juurde viis kuud tagasi (16.juuli) ning esimesed kaks kuud võttis aega üksteisega tutvusmiseks ja harjumiseks. Tänaseks on meil kõigil oma iseseisvad ülesanded . Rasmuse eesmärgiks on kasvada nii kiiresti nii pikaks kui võimalik ning nelja ja poole kuuga kasvas ta 52cm-lt 69-ni. Rasmus oskab seljalt kõhuli keerata, iseseisvalt mängida, saab aru eesti, läti ja inglise keelest ning on suur lobiseja (kui keegi oskab soovitada beebi keele tõlki, siis oleme väga huvitatud). Rasmuse misjoniülesandeks on inimesi naeratama panna.
Kaspari õpingud
Septembri lõpus kaitses Kaspar edukalt sporditeaduste bakalauruse kraadi, kuid sellega ta õpingud veel ei lõppenud. Füsioteraapia õpingute lõpetamiseks läheb veel kaks aastat. Selle aja jooksul õpib Kaspar kolme eriala – füsioteraapia, kehakultuur ja turismi mänedžer. Esimene ja viimane on Kaspari valikõpe ja on töös puuetega inimestega väga kasulik.
Uus korter
Eelmise korteri omanikuga olid meil arusaamatused, mis panid meid otsima teist korterit. Saime viie aastase lepinguga paremas korras, suurema (kahe toa asemel kolm tuba), soojema (15C kraadi asemel 20C), madalama (kuuenda korruse asemel viienda) ja odavama (olen juba enne öelnud, majanduskriis on hea asi!) korteri, kuhu kolisime 31.oktoobril. Asjade lahtipakkimine pole küll veel siiani lõppenud.
Rahvusvaheline Kristlik Sotsiaalprojekt Sabile 2010
Olen juba kolm aastat olnud seotud humanitaarabi projektiga, mis järgmisel aastal toimub Sabiles 28. veebruarist 7 märtsini. Minu ülesandeks on lätlaste projektile registreerimine ning gruppide moodustamine ja välja läkitamine. Kaspar on liikumispuuetega inimeste programmi juht ning muul ajal jagab humanitaarabi. Registreerimisega olen ma juba alustanud ning me loodame, et saame kogu perega ka järgmisel aastal osaleda. Eelmisel aastal paistis Rasmusele meeldivat 🙂 ning loodame, et see oli hea ettevalmistus. Palun palvetage, et leiaksime selleks ajaks lapsehoidja.
Wings for Wheels – misjonitöö liikumispuuetega inimeste seas
Suvelaager õnnestus hästi (nagu võis lugeda laagrirapordist) ning oleme alustanud juba järgmise laagri planeerimisega (kokk on meil juba olemas 😉 ). Laagrikohaks on jälle Talsi ning ajaks 2-8 juuli, 2010. Jätkanud oleme ka väikegrupi töö ja füsioteraapia evangelisatsiooniga ning järgmisel aastal plaanime alustada kirikutes puuetega inimeste olemasolu teadvustamist.
Jõulupuhkus
21. detsembrist 2009 kuni 2 jaanuarini 2010 on meil jõulupuhkus, mille veedame Hiiumaal.
Aitäh toetuste ja palvete eest!
Rahulikke jõule ja õnnistatud uut aastat!
