<\/p>\n[:en]<\/p>\n
We are safe and sound<\/strong> but longing for spring and the end of the lockdown (seems like spring will arrive earlier). Last weekend we got at least 25 cm of snow and I (Evelyn) am not a big fan of snow. But spring is not too far away (hopefully), and the thought of it gives hope. Fortunately, we were able to spend 2 weeks in Hiiumaa with my family during Christmas<\/strong>, and this gave us energy to keep going.<\/p>\n Compared with lockdown during last spring, it is a bit easier for us, because kindergartens<\/strong> are open. Sadly, schools are not open, and Rasmus<\/strong> struggles during distant studies. He is having a hard time focusing, and not every task is understandable for him, or gets done in time. Fortunately, I still understand 5th grade math (kind of), but math terms in Latvian are a bigger challenge.<\/p>\n It has been over a year since Wings for Wheels<\/strong> had its last event. During the summer we met as a team, but all other events were cancelled or moved online. Every year, we celebrate International Day of People with Disabilities with a banquet<\/strong> in a restaurant, but last December we held it on Zoom. I have to say that food was not on a par with what we used to have (it was non-existent \ud83d\ude00 ), but spiritual food and fellowship were even better than what we were used to. Read more here.<\/a> <\/p>\n This year, we are planning to continue with the online small group<\/strong>. It has been working well. Here is a short testimony<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Madara<\/strong> has been a part of all our Challenge camps. She has severe mobile disability, she uses a wheelchair and is not even able to use her hands properly. She needs help in every detail. People who do not know her can have a hard time understanding her. Madara lives with her elderly mother in an apartment building and gets out only if they have help. She has a tablet and is able to use it when it is prepared for her. Starting from last March, she has taken part in every small group meeting, the three-day seminar in the summer and the banquet in December. She is active and shares her thoughts. When we asked everyone to share a highlight of the year, she said that she has never been able to take part in a small group Bible study or anything regular for that matter. Thanks to Covid-19 it was made possible for her. She is very thankful.<\/p>\n We are planning to continue<\/strong> the online small group also when meetings are allowed again. People with disabilities are really happy for possibilities to take part in online church services and small groups. They were locked down to their homes long before the pandemic, and no one brought services to home for them. We also would not have thought of doing online events before. Of course, it is not suitable for everyone, but it is a new great opportunity. <\/p>\n To use this opportunity well, W4W is planning to have a Zoom course: introduction to Christian leadership<\/strong> (we call it IVAP for short, from the Latvian name). We start on February 10 and hope to finish in April. At the moment, we have 6 participants<\/strong> from different parts of Latvia who have not been in mini DTS or Morning Dew camps. We did a similar program in 2014 at our home. Distant course was not even thought of that time.<\/p>\n Thank you so much for your prayers and support. We are very thankful and will continue our work in lockdown as best we can.<\/p>\n Blessings, Oleme elu ja tervise juures<\/strong>, kuid ootame pikisilmi eriolukorra l\u00f5ppu ja kevadet (praeguse seisuga paistab, et kevad tuleb varem). Eelmisel n\u00e4dalavahetusel sadas maha v\u00e4hemalt 25 cm lund ja mina (Evelyn) kui teada-tuntud \u201clumearmastaja\u201d ei ole just eriti \u00f5nnelik, aga kunagi tuleb kevad ja see annab lootust. \u00d5nneks saime veeta j\u00f5ulude ajal<\/strong> tervelt kaks n\u00e4dalat Hiiumaal ning see andis meile m\u00f5neks ajaks energiat. <\/p>\n V\u00f5rreldes kevadise eriolukorraga on meie perel natuke kergem, sest lasteaiad<\/strong> t\u00f6\u00f6tavad. Koolid kahjuks avatud pole ja Rasmusel<\/strong> on distants\u00f5ppel raske keskenduda. Pidevalt j\u00e4\u00e4b kas midagi tegemata v\u00f5i arusaamatuks. \u00d5nneks oskan ma (veel) viienda klassi matemaatikat, kuigi j\u00e4\u00e4n tihti h\u00e4tta l\u00e4tikeelsetest terminitest arusaamisega.<\/p>\n Wings for Wheels <\/strong>pole juba aasta aega kontakt\u00fcritusi korraldanud. Suvel saime m\u00f5ni kord kokku oma tiimiga, aga k\u00f5ik \u00fcritused j\u00e4id \u00e4ra v\u00f5i toimusid l\u00e4bi Zoomi. Isegi \u00fclemaailmse puuetega inimeste p\u00e4eva banketi<\/strong> pidasime eelmise aasta l\u00f5pus Zoomis. Restoranitoitu oli kasinalt (loe: olematult \ud83d\ude42 ), aga see eest oli rohkelt vaimutoitu ja osadusaega. Loe rohkem siit.<\/a> <\/p>\n Kevadel plaanime j\u00e4tkata distantsv\u00e4ikegrupiga<\/strong>, mis on h\u00e4sti t\u00f6\u00f6le l\u00e4inud. Siin on v\u00e4ike tunnistus<\/strong> \u00fchelt osalejalt: <\/p>\n Madara<\/strong> on k\u00e4inud k\u00f5ikides meie V\u00e4ljakutse laagrites. Tal on s\u00fcgav liikumispuue, ta on ratastoolis ning ei ole v\u00f5imeline isegi oma k\u00e4si kasutama ja vajab k\u00f5ikides igap\u00e4evatoimingutes abi. Sellele lisaks on v\u00f5\u00f5ral inimesel raske tema k\u00f5nest aru saada. Madara elab koos oma vana emaga korteris ja sealt v\u00e4lja saab vaid siis, kui keegi neile appi tuleb. Madaral on tahvelarvuti, mida ta on v\u00f5imeline ise kasutama, kui see talle \u00f5igesse kohta pannakse. Alates m\u00e4rtsist on ta kohal olnud k\u00f5igil Wings for Wheelsi v\u00e4ikegrupi koosolekutel, suvisel kolmep\u00e4evasel seminaril ning ka detsembrikuisel banketil. Ta on aktiivne ja v\u00f5tab tihti s\u00f5na. Kui eelmise aasta l\u00f5pul palusime k\u00f5igil oma aastast r\u00e4\u00e4kida, siis Madara \u00fctles, et ta pole kunagi saanud osaleda piibligrupis ja mitte kunagi pole saanud olla osa millegist regulaarsest. T\u00e4nu koroonale on tal n\u00fc\u00fcd see v\u00f5imalus. Ta on v\u00e4ga t\u00e4nulik.<\/p>\n Isegi kui koroona l\u00f5ppeb, oleme plaaninud j\u00e4tkata selle grupi t\u00f6\u00f6d<\/strong> l\u00e4bi arvuti. Puuetega inimestele on distantsjumalateenistused ja meie koosolekud \u00f5nnistuseks, sest nemad olid kodus kinni ka enne pandeemiat ja keegi ei toonud koosolekuid neile koju k\u00e4tte. Me poleks kunagi ilma haiguseta selle peale tulnud, et \u00fcritusi l\u00e4bi arvuti teha. Iga\u00fchele see ei sobi, aga see on uus v\u00f5imalus.<\/p>\n Seet\u00f5ttu plaanimine sel kevadel ka teha koolituse l\u00e4bi Zoomi: juhtide koolituse alg\u00f5pe<\/strong> (L\u00e4ti keeles kutsume seda l\u00fchendatult: IVAP). Alustame 10. veebruaril ja loodame l\u00f5petada aprillis. Praegu on meil 6 osalejat <\/strong>erinevatest L\u00e4ti nurkadest, kes ei ole enne k\u00e4inud ei Hommikuse kaste laagris ega mini J\u00fcngrikoolis. Viisime sarnase programmi l\u00e4bi ka 2014. aastal ja siis ei osanud me m\u00f5eldagi, et midagi sellest saaks teha ka distantsilt.<\/p>\n Ait\u00e4h palvete ja rahaliste toetuste eest! Oleme v\u00e4ga t\u00e4nulikud j\u00e4tkame t\u00f6\u00f6d siin eriolukorras nii h\u00e4sti kui oskame.<\/p>\n \u00d5nnistusi soovides [:LV] M\u0113s esam sveiki un veseli<\/strong>, ta\u010du ilgojamies p\u0113c pavasara un \u0101rk\u0101rtas situ\u0101cijas beig\u0101m (izskat\u0101s, ka pavasaris atn\u0101ks pirmais).
