<\/p>\n[:en]<\/p>\n
Greetings from Riga!<\/strong><\/p>\n This is quite possibly the last newsletter with this opening line, because within this month, we will be moving to Hiiumaa. But first, I will tell a bit about Wings for Wheels. Wings for Wheels celebrated 15 years of ministry<\/strong> this year. For the whole pandemic, we have lived more or less in isolation, and met just with the Wings for Wheels team now and again, so this summer we really longed to see our friends face to face. Unfortunately, we were unable to organise a camp, but we hope to do it again in the next summer(s).<\/p>\n On 25 June<\/strong> we celebrated the birthday of Wings for Wheels<\/strong> by planning a special day in Raiskums, where we used to have our camps. Rasmus, who was quite young when we held camps there, thought he remembered the place just from the pictures, but as soon as he stepped into the school hall, he remembered the time spent there \ud83d\ude0aWe had a great day. You can read more about it here.<\/a><\/p>\n Wings for Wheels continues with regular small group meetings<\/strong> on Zoom (right now we\u2019re on a summer break), visiting care homes, recording a podcast, individual meetings, and physiotherapy<\/strong>. Most of the work will continue as before even after our move because Kaspar can lead everything from a distance. Once a month he will spend a week in Riga to do the things that need his physical attendance, as well as visit his elderly parents.<\/p>\n Evelyn<\/strong><\/p>\n Starting from 11 May, I work full-time and remotely as a product specialist\/copywriter for kingitus.ee (an Estonian online service selling gift cards and holiday packages \u2013 an English version: www.tinggly.com). In January, I started applying for different jobs, and by the time I saw this job announced, I had realised that it isn\u2019t easy to find a position that meets my criteria. I decided to apply for the job nevertheless and within less than two weeks, I was hired. I am very content with the job, and it fits me perfectly. In the first weeks, I checked my Estonian grammar very often, and I still regularly use the thesaurus, but my Estonian skills are slowly coming back, and I have always been fond of writing. Rasmus (13)<\/strong> graduated from the 6th grade in the Riga Estonian School this spring. In September, he will continue learning in his class in the Palade Primary School in Hiiumaa. He has friends in the class, knows the school and will most probably manage well. <\/p>\n Karola (6)<\/strong> and Rebeka (4)<\/strong> went to the Riga Catholic Gymnasium kindergarten \u2013 Karola attended the oldest, preschool group. Half of Karola\u2019s group graduated from kindergarten this year, so for her, it\u2019s easier to change kindergartens. Rebeka might lose her excellent Latvian without special attention to it, but we hope to keep it. Both girls will continue kindergarten in K\u00e4rdla in the autumn. For Karola, this will be the last year before school.<\/p>\n Kaspar<\/strong><\/p>\n Moving countries will probably be the hardest for Kaspar. Although we have spent a lot of time in Hiiumaa, this will be a change of culture and language, and the beginning won\u2019t be easy. For years, he has suffered from depression. It was controllable for a while, but is now showing itself again as anxiety. Sometimes he gets overwhelmed by the feeling of responsibility when it comes to issues of moving and our Latvian home.<\/p>\n Kaspar is also looking for a part-time job in Hiiumaa. There is always need for physiotherapists and masseuses, but Kaspar\u2019s Estonian skills have yet to catch up with his professional skills \u2013 also this is a source of anxiety.<\/p>\n The move<\/strong><\/p>\n When it comes to moving, we have good news \u2013 we know where we are moving<\/strong> \ud83d\ude0aThe closer the moving date, the more stressful it became to be in the dark. Over the course of the last two years, we were well informed on all properties being sold in the area that we were interested in, but due to different reasons (mostly lack of funds) we were not able to buy any. At the same time, we had been following along with the story of a house by the sea that would be ideal for us size-wise. It was up for sale first, then auctioned, sold to a new owner, rented to long-term tenants, there were plans to build it into a guest house, then new tenants came\u2026 through it all, we kept up with what\u2019s happening, and even without our initiative, we got to know the new owner. He always knew our situation and our interest for the house, and in the beginning of July, he made us an offer that we hope to be able to manage with God\u2019s help. We have signed a reservation agreement, paid 5000\u20ac in advance, and we have to find the rest of the funds during the next year. We have been speaking to banks<\/strong>, and there are three or four banks that are willing to lend us money (in the future) \u2013 hopefully the whole sum that we need. At the moment, I am still on my trial period at my job, and the banks would like to wait a few more months before discussing a loan. Soon, the child benefits we\u2019ll be getting from Estonia, as well as the job Kaspar is hoping to get, would aid our situation.<\/p>\n You can see more pictures of our future home here.<\/a><\/p>\n Latvian home<\/strong><\/p>\n After we move, we will end our lease at the place that has faithfully served us for the past eight years. This house is too costly and large to keep. Kaspar will spend a week in Riga once a month, and we plan to visit Latvia as often as possible in order to maintain the children\u2019s Latvian skills, Latvian roots and friends there. However, we are too poor to stay at hotels, so now we are looking for a two-room apartment that would become our Latvian home. Throughout all our missionary work, we have been saying that every Christian can participate in missions in three ways \u2013 prayers, financial support and voluntary work. Our help request right now is very similar.<\/p>\n We ask all interceders to pray for us<\/strong> \u2013 packing up, moving, finances for the process; getting a loan from the bank; Kaspar\u2019s anxiety, his job and Estonian skills; the children getting used to the new life; the apartment in Latvia, maintaining the children\u2019s Latvian; continuing W4W work remotely.<\/p>\n In connection with the move, we have a lot of extraordinary expenses<\/strong>. Every little bit of support is very welcome. Most of our regular supporters that we have met, are planning to support Kaspar\u2019s missionary work as long as he works for Wings for Wheels. This is a great help. In addition, it\u2019s possible to support four special projects<\/strong>:<\/p>\n 1)\tThe move \u2013 it\u2019s not cheap to move countries; If you find that in addition to prayers and financial support \u2013 or instead of them \u2013 you would rather use your hands<\/strong>, there are many opportunities for that as well \u2013 cleaning, packing, loading the moving car etc. <\/p>\n You can also help by giving us good advice<\/strong>. Having said that, you don\u2019t need to tell us that we\u2019re taking too big of a risk financially. We are very well aware of that, and we think that 20 years of full-time missions seemed less scary than the step that we\u2019re about to take. However, during this time we have learned that when we give our worries over to God, He will take care of us, and if something is not God\u2019s will, or if we wouldn\u2019t be able to pull it off, God will intervene before we lose everything we have. We are constantly praying not to make mistakes and we hope you are too. God does not perform miracles just for us to doubt in Him. Sometimes we just have to take a big step of faith, knowing that our Heavenly Father Himself is taking care of us. People often confine God\u2019s power to their own measure, but God\u2019s help has no boundaries. He is Almighty.<\/p>\n If you have questions, suggestions, a wish to help, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us<\/strong>! We are continuing our wonderful life together with God and we are very happy if you want to be a part of this as well. <\/p>\n Wishing you blessings, Tervitusi Riiast!<\/strong><\/p>\n See on suure t\u00f5en\u00e4osusega viimane uudiskiri sellise tervitusega, sest j\u00e4rgmise kuu jooksul kolime Hiiumaale, aga alustuseks r\u00e4\u00e4gin natuke Wings for Wheelsist.<\/p>\n Wings for Wheels<\/strong><\/p>\n Wings for Wheels sai sel aastal 15-aastaseks.<\/strong> Kuna kogu pandeemiaaegse aja oleme elanud suuremal m\u00e4\u00e4ral isolatsioonis, vaid vahel kohtunud Wings for Wheelsi tiimiga, siis oli sel suvel suur igatsus s\u00f5pru n\u00e4ost n\u00e4kku n\u00e4ha. Kahjuks ei \u00f5nnestunud meil organiseerida laagrit, aga loodame seda teha j\u00e4rgmis(t)el suve(de)l. <\/p>\n 25. juunil<\/strong> t\u00e4histasime W4W s\u00fcnnip\u00e4eva korraldades selle s\u00fcndmuse t\u00e4histamiseks erilise p\u00e4eva Raiskumsis – meie vanas laagrikohas. Rasmus, kes oli seal laagerdades p\u00e4ris v\u00e4ike, arvas m\u00e4letavat kohta vaid piltide j\u00e4rgi, kuid koolimaja saali astudes, meenus talle silmapilkselt siin viibitud aeg :-). Meil oli tore p\u00e4ev. Loe rohkem siit.<\/a><\/p>\n Wings for Wheels j\u00e4tkab regulaarselt Zoomis toimuvat v\u00e4ikegruppi<\/strong> (praegu oleme suvepuhkusel), pansionaadi\/hooldekodu k\u00fclastusi, podcasti lindistust, individuaalseid kohtumisi ja f\u00fcsioteraapiat. Peale kolimist j\u00e4tkub suurem osa t\u00f6\u00f6st vanaviisi, sest Kaspar saab k\u00f5ike distantsilt juhtida. Kord kuus veedab ta n\u00e4dala Riias koha peal, et k\u00f5ik f\u00fc\u00fcsilist kohalolekut vajavad toimetused \u00e4ra teha ning oma vanadel vanematel k\u00fclas k\u00e4ia. <\/p>\n Evelyn<\/strong><\/p>\n Alates 11. maist t\u00f6\u00f6tan t\u00e4isajaliselt kaugt\u00f6\u00f6na kingitus.ee O\u00dc tootespetsialisti\/tekstikirjutajana. Jaanuaris alustasin kandideerimist erinevatele t\u00f6\u00f6kohtadele ja selle kuulutuse n\u00e4gemise ajaks olin aru saanud, et minu tingimustele vastavat t\u00f6\u00f6d ei ole kerge leida. Otsustasin siiski kuulutusele vastata ja v\u00e4hem kui kahe n\u00e4dalaga olin t\u00f6\u00f6kohale kinnitatud. Ma olen t\u00f6\u00f6ga v\u00e4ga rahul ja see sobib mulle ideaalselt. Esimestel n\u00e4dalatel kontrollisin v\u00e4ga tihti oma eesti keele grammatikat ja siiani kasutan regulaarselt s\u00fcnon\u00fc\u00fcmis\u00f5nastikku, kuid eesti keel hakkab vaikselt tagasi tulema ning kirjutamine on mulle alati meeldinud. Rasmus (13)<\/strong> l\u00f5petas sel kevadel Riia Eesti Kooli 6. klassi ja l\u00e4heb septembris tagasi oma klassi Palade P\u00f5hikoolis, Hiiumaal. Tal on klassis s\u00f5brad, kool tuttav ning suure t\u00f5en\u00e4osusega saab ta hakkama.<\/p>\n Karola (6) ja Rebeka (4)<\/strong> k\u00e4isid Riia Katoliku G\u00fcmnaasiumi lasteaias \u2013 Karola eelkooli ehk vanimas r\u00fchmas. Karolal l\u00f5petas pool grupist lasteaia ja seega on temal lasteaiavahetus kergem. Rebeka puhul v\u00f5ib ilma erit\u00e4helepanuta kaduda tema v\u00e4ga hea l\u00e4ti keel, kuigi loodame seda hoida. M\u00f5lemad t\u00fcdrukud j\u00e4tkavad s\u00fcgisel K\u00e4rdla lasteaias. Karolal on see viimane aasta enne kooliminekut.<\/p>\n Kaspar<\/strong><\/p>\n Arvatavasti k\u00f5ige raskem on elukohavahetus Kasparile. Kuigi me oleme viibinud tihti Hiiumaal, on see siiski tema jaoks kultuuri- ja keelruumi muutus ning algus ei saa kerge olema. Tal on olnud aastaid depressioon, mis oli vahepeal k\u00fcll kontrolli all, aga t\u00e4rkab praegu \u00e4revusena. Tundes suurt vastutust kolimise ja L\u00e4ti elukohaga seoses, l\u00f6\u00f6vad tal vahel lained \u00fcle pea. <\/p>\n Samuti otsib Kaspar Hiiumaal osaajaga t\u00f6\u00f6d. F\u00fcsioterapeute\/mass\u00f6\u00f6re on alati vaja, kuid Kaspari eesti keele oskus ei ole veel tema professionaalsete oskuste tasemele j\u00f5udnud \u2013 ka see on \u00e4revuse allikas.<\/p>\n Kolimine<\/strong><\/p>\n Kolimise koha pealt on h\u00e4id uudiseid \u2013 me teame kuhu me kolime<\/strong> \ud83d\ude42 Mida l\u00e4hemale kolimine tuli, seda stressirohkemaks muutus meie teadmatus. Kahe aasta jooksul olime kursis k\u00f5igi m\u00fc\u00fcdavate kinnisvaradega meile sobivas piirkonnas, aga erinevatel p\u00f5hjustel (suuremalt osalt rahapuuduse t\u00f5ttu) me neid ei saanud. Samas olime kaks aastat j\u00e4lginud mere\u00e4\u00e4rse meile suuruse poolest ideaalselt sobiva maja eluk\u00e4iku. Algul oli see m\u00fc\u00fcgis, siis l\u00e4ks oksjonile, siis l\u00e4ks uuele omanikule, siis pikaajaliste rentnike k\u00e4tte, siis plaaniti sellest ehitada k\u00fclalistemaja, siis l\u00e4ks uute rentnike k\u00e4tte, aga pidevalt olime me sellega seotud ja ilma meie initsiatiivita tutvusime uue omanikuga. Tema oli meie olukorra ja huviga maja vastu kogu aeg kursis ning tegi juuli algul meile pakkumise, millega loodame Jumala abiga hakkama saada. Oleme teinud broneerimislepingu, maksnud sisse 5000\u20ac ning aasta jooksul peame leidma \u00fclej\u00e4\u00e4nud finantseeringu. <\/p>\n Alatest septembrist<\/strong> v\u00f5ime majas sees elada. Maja on heas korras, suuremas osas on pandud uus soojustus (laudis puudu) ja enne meie kolimist loodetatakse vahetada \u00e4ra k\u00f5ik aknad. Maja miinusteks on logistika (jalgsi on kooli ja lasteaega raske saada \u2013 4km); vesi \u2013 rauane, sest K\u00e4rdla vesi pole veel sinna j\u00f5udnud (aga ehk saangi siis l\u00f5puks oma rauaaneemiast v\u00f5itu ja kannan uhkelt oma oran\u017ee juukseid ja roostev\u00e4rvi valgeid riideid \ud83d\ude42 ) ning Internet ehk selle puudus, sest k\u00fcla on leviaugus. <\/p>\n Oleme r\u00e4\u00e4kinud pankadega<\/strong> ning kolm-neli panka on meile valmis (tulevikus) raha laenama – loodetavasti t\u00e4issumma. Praegusel momendil olen t\u00f6\u00f6l veel katseajaga ning pangad ootaksid veel paar kuud, et meid jutule v\u00f5tta. Kaasa aitab tulevikus ka lastetoetuste Eestist saamine ja loodetav Kaspari t\u00f6\u00f6koht.<\/p>\n Rohkem pilte meie tulevasest kodust v\u00f5ib n\u00e4ha siit<\/a>.<\/p>\n Peale kolimist l\u00f5petame oma rendilepingu meid kaheksa aastat ustavalt teeninud elukohaga. See maja on liiga kulukas ja liiga suur alles hoidmiseks. Kuna Kaspar hakkab k\u00e4ima kord kuus n\u00e4dal aega Riias ja laste l\u00e4ti keele, l\u00e4ti juurte ja s\u00f5prade hoidmiseks plaanime k\u00e4ia lastega L\u00e4tis nii tihti kui v\u00f5imalik, kuid hotellides \u00f6\u00f6bimiseks oleme liiga vaesed, siis otsime praegu kahetoalist korterit, millest saaks meie L\u00e4ti kodu. <\/p>\n Abipalve<\/strong><\/p>\n Kogu oma misjonit\u00f6\u00f6 jooksul oleme r\u00e4\u00e4kinud, et iga kristlane saab misjonit\u00f6\u00f6st osa v\u00f5tta kolmel viisil – eestpalve, rahaline toetus, vabatahtlik t\u00f6\u00f6. Praegune abipalve on sarnane.<\/p>\n Palume k\u00f5iki meie eestpalvetajaid<\/strong> palvetada meie eest \u2013 pakkimine, kolimine, finantsid selleks k\u00f5igeks; pangalaenu saamine; Kaspari \u00e4revus, t\u00f6\u00f6koht, eesti keele oskus; laste uue eluga harjumine; L\u00e4ti korter, laste l\u00e4ti keele hoidmine; W4W t\u00f6\u00f6 j\u00e4tkamine kaugt\u00f6\u00f6na.<\/p>\n Seoses kolimisega on meil v\u00e4ga palju v\u00e4ljaminekuid<\/strong>. Iga v\u00e4iksemgi abi on v\u00e4ga teretulnud. Suurem osa meie regulaarseid toetajad, kellega oleme kohtunud, plaanivad j\u00e4tkata Kaspari misjonit\u00f6\u00f6 toetamist niikaua kuni ta t\u00f6\u00f6tab Wings for Wheelsiga. See on v\u00e4ga suureks abiks. Sellele lisaks on v\u00f5imalik teha eritoetust neljale projektile<\/strong><\/p>\n 1) kolimine \u2013 rahvusvaheline kolimine ei ole odav; Kui Sa leiad, et eestpalvele ja finantsilisele toetusele lisaks v\u00f5i nende asemel Sa aitaksid parem k\u00e4ed k\u00fclge l\u00fc\u00fca<\/strong>, siis ka selleks on mitmeid v\u00f5imalusi – koristamine, pakkimine, pakkimisauto laadimine jne. <\/p>\n Hea n\u00f5uga<\/strong> v\u00f5ib samuti abiks olla. Samas pole meile vaja \u00f6elda, et v\u00f5tame finanstiliselt liiga suure riski. Oleme sellest ise v\u00e4ga teadlikud ning leiame, et 20 aastat t\u00e4isajaga misjonit\u00f6\u00f6l tundus v\u00e4hem hirmutavam kui see, millise sammu praegu ette v\u00f5tame. Samas oleme \u00f5ppinud selle aja jooksul, et andes oma mured Jumalale, hoolitseb Tema meie eest ning kui midagi ei ole Jumala tahe v\u00f5i me ei saaks sellega hakkama, siis paneb Jumal k\u00e4e ette enne kui me k\u00f5igest oma elus ilma j\u00e4\u00e4me. Palvetame pidevalt, et me ei teeks vigu ja loodame, et ka teie seda teete. Jumal ei tee imesid selleks, et me neis kahtleks. Vahel peame lihtsalt tegema suure ususammu, teades et meie Taevane Isa ise hoolitseb meie eest. Tihti piiritlevad inimesed Jumalat oma m\u00f5\u00f5dupuuga, aga Jumala abil ei ole piire. Ta on K\u00f5ikv\u00f5imas.<\/p>\n Kui teil on k\u00fcsimusi, ettepanekuid, abistamise soovi, siis palun v\u00f5tke meiega \u00fchendust<\/strong>! J\u00e4tkame imelist elu koos Jumalaga ja oleme v\u00e4ga \u00f5nnelikud, kui ka Sina soovid sellest osa olla.<\/p>\n \u00d5nnistusi soovides, Sveicieni no R\u012bgas!<\/strong><\/p>\n \u0160\u012b, visticam\u0101k, b\u016bs p\u0113d\u0113j\u0101 informat\u012bv\u0101 jaunumv\u0113stule ar \u0161\u0101du sveicienu, jo m\u0113s august\u0101 p\u0101rce\u013camies dz\u012bvot H\u012bjum\u0101.
