Greetings from Riga!<\/p>\n
Life with God is full of surprises!<\/p>\n
The Sabbath year<\/strong> was meant for us to rest and seek God\u2019s will, and for our kids to get to be close to their extended family. We thought we\u2019d come back and serve in Latvia for the next 20 years. But already when half of the sabbath year had passed, we began to realise that Hiiumaa might become our home in the future. We had talked about it before, but we had always imagined it would happen once we\u2019re retired. Now it seems like we might retire young,<\/strong> as we\u2019ve started to look for our own home on Hiiumaa. We don\u2019t know when our work in ministry will end (probably in 2-5 years), but we are in the beginning of the end.<\/p>\n Karola<\/strong> enjoyed herself a lot on Hiiumaa. Her Estonian is great, and she has become quite a chatterbox \ud83d\ude0a. In September, she started kindergarten. During her first month there, she refused to speak Latvian \u2013 Latvian is spoken only with daddy \ud83d\ude0a. Her Estonian is still better, but Latvian is slowly starting to catch up. Since Karola started kindergarten, we were ready to dive into full-time work. But\u2026<\/p>\n In the beginning of this year we got a phone call where we were asked whether we\u2019d be willing to accept Karola\u2019s biological sister into our family. Rebeka<\/strong> was born in April 2018, and at the time of the phone call, she was already living with a Christian foster mother. Of course, we went to see her and tried to discern whether we could raise another child. We had to go through all the paperwork again and take some courses, but on September the 6th, Rebeka arrived at home. The first two months were very difficult because the girls didn\u2019t get along, and jealousy didn\u2019t mend matters. Interestingly enough, Rasmus and Rebeka got along fine from the first day on, although it didn\u2019t go as smoothly with Karola. Rebeka isn\u2019t officially adopted yet, as she must live with us for six months first, but it seems like our family of three has unexpectedly become a large family of five. \ud83d\ude0a Which brings us to the next surprise\u2026<\/p>\n According to Latvian law, all our children must sit in a safety seat in the car<\/strong>. We had planned on using our nice and comfortable car for a couple of more years, but it didn\u2019t have room for three child seats. Kaspar started reading advertisements and found out that there\u2019s no way we can afford our dream car. Surprisingly, the kind of car he dreamed about soon stood parked in our yard, having my (Evelyn\u2019s) birth year in the registration number. The car needed fixing, and there are still some jobs to be done, but otherwise it\u2019s exactly the kind of car Kaspar has dreamed of.<\/p>\n The surprises in our life continue, but we\u2019re not ready to talk about all of them just yet. Maybe we\u2019ll continue in the next newsletter(s) \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n Regardless of the events in our private life, Wings for Wheels<\/strong> continues its work. Soon we\u2019ll hold the annual banquet<\/strong> for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the planning work for the summer camp <\/strong>has begun, Kaspar has started a small group<\/strong> as well as begun recording a podcast<\/strong>. He also continues with physiotherapy.<\/strong> I\u2019m mostly at home with Rebeka, but sometimes I get a chance to do a little photography (or write a newsletter \ud83d\ude0a) and be a part of W4W\u2019s work, in the very least by giving advice.<\/p>\n Wishing you blessings, Tervitusi Riiast!<\/p>\n Elu koos Jumalaga on t\u00e4is \u00fcllatusi! <\/strong><\/p>\n Sabatiaasta<\/strong> oli m\u00f5eldud selleks, et saaksime puhata, otsida Jumala tahet ja et lapsed saaksid olla l\u00e4hedal oma laiendatud perekonnale. M\u00f5tlesime, et tuleme tagasi ja teenime L\u00e4tis j\u00e4rgmised 20 aastat. Juba poole aasta pealt hakkasime aru saama, et Hiiumaa v\u00f5ib olla meie tuleviku elupaik. Olime sellest ennegi r\u00e4\u00e4kinud, aga m\u00f5elnud pigem pensioniea peale. Praegu paistab, et meist v\u00f5ivad saada noored pension\u00e4rid<\/strong>, sest oleme hakanud otsima oma kodu Hiiumaal. Me ei tea, millal saabub meie misjonit\u00f6\u00f6 l\u00f5pp (arvatavasti 2-5 aasta p\u00e4rast), aga oleme l\u00f5pu alguses. <\/p>\n Karolale<\/strong> meeldis Hiiumaal v\u00e4ga. Tema eesti keel on v\u00e4ga hea ning tal on \u201ekrooniline lobapidamatus\u201c :-). Selle aasta septembrist hakkas ta k\u00e4ima lasteaias, kus esimesel kuul keeldus l\u00e4ti keeles r\u00e4\u00e4kimast (l\u00e4ti keeles r\u00e4\u00e4gitakse vaid issiga \ud83d\ude42 ). Eesti keel on tal siiani parem, aga l\u00e4ti keel hakkab tasakesi j\u00e4rgi j\u00f5udma. Kuna Karola l\u00e4ks lasteaeda, olime valmis sukelduma t\u00e4isajaga t\u00f6\u00f6sse. Aga…<\/p>\n Selle aasta alguses saime telefonik\u00f5ne, kus k\u00fcsiti, kas oleksime valmis v\u00f5tma oma peresse Karola bioloogilise \u00f5e. Rebeka<\/strong> s\u00fcndis aprillis 2018 ning oli telefonik\u00f5ne ajaks juba paigutatud elama kristlasest asendusema juurde. Loomulikult l\u00e4ksime teda vaatama ning p\u00fc\u00fcdsime m\u00f5ista, kas saame veel \u00fche lapse kasvatamisega hakkama. Pidime uuesti l\u00e4bi tegema kogu paberimajanduse ja k\u00e4ima kursustel, aga 6.septembril saabus Rebeka koju. Esimesed kaks kuud olid v\u00e4ga rasked, sest t\u00fcdrukud ei saanud omavahel l\u00e4bi ning armukadedus ei teinud seda kergemaks. Huvitaval kombel hakkasid Rasmus ja Rebeka esimest p\u00e4evast h\u00e4sti l\u00e4bi saama, kuigi Karolaga see nii kiirelt ei l\u00e4inud. Rebeka pole veel ametlikult adopteeritud, kuna enne peab ta meie juures elama 6 kuud, aga paistab, et t\u00e4iesti plaanimatult sai meie kolmeliikmelisest perest viieliikmeline suurpere. \ud83d\ude42 Mis viib meid j\u00e4rgmise \u00fcllatuseni…<\/p>\n K\u00f5ik meie kolm last peavad L\u00e4ti seaduste j\u00e4rgi istuma autos turvaistmel, aga meie hea mugav auto<\/strong>, millega plaanisime s\u00f5ita veel aasta v\u00f5i paar, ei mahutanud kolme istet. Kaspar hakkas lugema kuulutusi ning leidis, et oma unistuste autot ei saa me endale kuidagi lubada. Kuid \u00fcllatusena seisis seda marki auto meil varsti \u00f5ues, minu (Evelyni) s\u00fcnniaasta numbriga numbrim\u00e4rgis. Auto vajas remonti ning m\u00f5ni t\u00f6\u00f6 on veel teha, aga muidu on t\u00e4pselt selline auto, millest Kaspar unistas.<\/p>\n \u00dcllatused meie elus j\u00e4tkuvad, kuid k\u00f5igist ei ole me veel valmis r\u00e4\u00e4kima. Ehk j\u00e4tkame j\u00e4rgmis(t)es uudiskirja(de)s \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Meie eraelulistest s\u00fcndmustest s\u00f5ltumata j\u00e4tkab Wings for Wheels<\/strong> oma t\u00f6\u00f6d. Varsti tuleb iga-aastane puuetega inimeste p\u00e4evale p\u00fchendatud bankett<\/strong>, suvelaagri <\/strong>plaanimine on alanud, Kaspar alustas v\u00e4ikegrupiga ja podcasti salvestustega<\/strong> ning j\u00e4tkab f\u00fcsioteraapiat.<\/strong> Mina olen rohkem Rebekaga kodus, aga vahel saan natuke fotograafiaga tegeleda (v\u00f5i uudiskirja kirjutada \ud83d\ude42 ) ja W4W tegevuses v\u00e4hemalt n\u00f5uga abiks olla. [:LV] Sveiciens no R\u012bgas!

Pirmo m\u0113nesi vi\u0146a ne ar vienu nerun\u0101ja latviski, jo latvie\u0161u valoda ir paredz\u0113ta tikai sarunai ar t\u0113ti. \ud83d\ude0a. Vi\u0146a joproj\u0101m lab\u0101k run\u0101 igauniski, bet pamaz\u0101m \u201ciedzen\u201d ar\u012b latvie\u0161u valodu. T\u0101 k\u0101 Karola s\u0101ka iet b\u0113rnud\u0101rz\u0101, m\u0113s t\u0101 k\u0101 b\u016btu var\u0113ju\u0161i atgriezties pilna laika kalpo\u0161an\u0101, ta\u010du\u2026 <\/p>\n \u0160\u012b gada s\u0101kum\u0101 mums piezvan\u012bja un pajaut\u0101ja, vai m\u0113s negrib\u0113tu pie\u0146emt \u0123imen\u0113 ar\u012b Karolas biolo\u0123isko m\u0101su. Rebeka<\/strong> bija piedzimusi 2018. gada apr\u012bl\u012b, un tad, kad sa\u0146\u0113m\u0101m \u0161o zvanu, vi\u0146a jau dz\u012bvoja pie savas aud\u017eum\u0101tes, kristietes. Protams, m\u0113s aizbrauc\u0101m vi\u0146u apskat\u012bt un cent\u0101mies saprast, vai m\u0113s sp\u0113tu audzin\u0101t v\u0113l vienu b\u0113rnu. Atkal vajadz\u0113ja iziet cauri formalit\u0101\u0161u k\u0101rto\u0161anai un apm\u0101c\u012bbu kursiem, un 6. septembr\u012b Rebeka ierad\u0101s pie mums. Pirmie divi m\u0113ne\u0161i bija \u013coti gr\u016bti, jo meitenes nesatika, un abpus\u0113ja greizsird\u012bba situ\u0101ciju, protams, neuzlaboja. Interesanti, ka Rasmus ar Rebeku saprat\u0101s labi jau no pirm\u0101s dienas, bet ar Karolu tik gludi neg\u0101ja. Rebeka v\u0113l nav ofici\u0101li adopt\u0113ta, jo vi\u0146ai vispirms ir j\u0101nodz\u012bvo pie mums se\u0161i m\u0113ne\u0161i, ta\u010du izskat\u0101s, ka m\u016bsu \u0123imene no trim cilv\u0113kiem p\u0113k\u0161\u0146i ir izaugusi l\u012bdz pieciem. \ud83d\ude0a Tas m\u016bs ved pie n\u0101kam\u0101 p\u0101rsteiguma\u2026 <\/p>\n Saska\u0146\u0101 ar Latvijas likumdo\u0161anu, m\u016bsu b\u0113rniem ma\u0161\u012bn\u0101 katram ir j\u0101s\u0113\u017e sav\u0101 dro\u0161\u012bbas s\u0113dekl\u012bt\u012b.
