Party!

We've begun a time for partys! By the time Christmas is over, we will have been a part of five or six Christmas parties. What a wonderful way to celebrate Christ's birth with others. Our first party was the Tallinn area Christmas party. Our corps chapel was converted into a banquet room, with a beautifully spread table.
Everyone who came to the party brought something for the food table, so we had a wonderful feast. There were our workers and volunteers from the Kopli Corps, the regional office, Lotusemaja homeless day center and the lastekeskus (children's center).
They even had us play silly games, and everyone joined in on the fun.
Major Derek Tyrrell, our regional commander, was Santa to give out the gifts (although I think he more resembles William Booth!). Here he is with Teele, the faithful secretary/translator who keeps the regional office running.
