The person who was leading the program was a fantastic guy called Mati. He may remember me as the mother of two small boys who visited them once from Misjonskirken and tried to learn Estonian in a weekend! Hope things are going well with their church. You´ll have to drop by some time and let me know! Have a good weekend...
Peeteli kirik :-) Haven´t been in touch with them for many years, but at the time they were doing a great job helping kids who were living on the streets.
I visited Tallinn once and tried to learn a little Estonian. Our church was supporting a church there where a lot of street kids were staying. We visited Kopli to hand out clothes and food.
By_Grace_alone: feel free to come and join us on the "Leaderboard Group for everyone" if you want. Fun to see your progress along with the progress of others and "have some company" along the way. Glad you´re enjoying your "daily vitamin" - I agree with you about that, but this is the first time I´ve managed to stick with it over a longer period of time.
And I see you´re doing great! Congratulations on holding the top place here for so long! (graetzmi and frogs are providing tough competition!) I personally would never have learned this much by heart without the combination of forced repetition and competitive instincts! I think the point system is really well designed, because people who are relatively new have just the right opportunities to get new rewards a little more often, and can immediately compete strongly against others who have been here for a while. And as last week´s points keep expiring, you also end up continually competing with yourself just to keep up. Glad you like it here!
Congratulations MamaJean on your recruiting, and good luck with this board! Just wanted to let you know that you are all welcome to join us on the "Leaderboard group for everyone" board - it´s kind of fun to be part of a larger community there and see how others are doing. Hope to see you there!
Hi RachelBod! Congratulations on 50 verses started! You´re doing really well! Feel free to join us on "Leaderboard group for everyone" if you´re interested...
Frogts, you´re doing great these days! James 3:17 is a verse I like which I found through this site. I find it to be a good reminder of what true wisdom looks like.
