A rainy weekend and extremely cold, but the Karltorps, Christofer's parents are hardy folk and we braved the outdoors to show them around old town. We found a lovely little monk's cave where an old little man had paintings of Tallinn and had written a funny little note about 'No spirits or magic here, peace here.' I'm guessing people believe it's some sort of occult place because of it's location. Anyway, he had a little Bible and the fish symbol everywhere, it smelled a bit musty, but it had a genuine feeling of peace. I bet he sits all day painting and praying. Other than that Easter didn't really feel like Easter. We worked out and had a sauna and then ate a restaurant, a very nice restaurant, and went and saw a movie, strange Easter, but it would of been worse without Eva and Gunnar, so grateful they came. They seemed to be in need of a vacation and laughed and talked a lot, which made for great company! Sure am grateful I have such fun and loving in-laws.
On Sunday we drove to an old monastery, while walking around it we talked about the resurrection and how the Church has had such a vital role in the World. It was amazing to imagine monks walking the grounds thousands of years ago, praying, singing, seeking God and probably celebrating Easter for the same reasons as we are. After we met up with Taaniel for pancakes and then they flew on home. Christofer and I finished the evening by watching the five episodes of the Office :)
Monday brought Justin, Linn's fiancée, and now we are brainstorming away.
New working title for Zerply...
