Working in the Woods

We also worked hard while in Latvia. We truely went to serve. Whatever they needed, we did it. When we arrived at the farm owned by the orphanage (this is where we stayed), we learned that things are done differently in Latvia. They use outhouses, have really cold well water to take a bath with, and heat comes from fire. Simple and quite enjoyable. They needed a fence and we cut over 500 posts out of trees in the forest on their land. The temperature ranged from 35 - 65 degrees. It was great for working. Another group of men were coming in the next week to build the fence so we cut the posts and rails and placed them around the land so that the fence could be built.
