I ARRIVED IN ESTONIA SATURDAY AT ABOUT 6 P.M. ACTUALLY, I ENDED UP TRAVELING THROUGH DENMARK AND SPENT 6 HOURS IN THE AIRPORT IN COPENHAGEN. I COME THROUGH ESTONIA IN ORDER TO PICK UP A CAR THAT I LEAVE HERE AND THEN TRAVEL ON TO RUSSIA. YOU'RE ALL GOOD IN GEOGRAPHY SO I WON'T NEED TO TELL YOU WHERE ESTONIA IS. HOWEVER, FOR THE PARENTS SAKE I'LL TELL YOU THAT ESTONIA IS ONE OF THE FORMER SOVIET STATES LOCATED ON THE BALTIC SEA. IT'S A TINY LITTLE COUNTRY OF ONLY A LITTLE OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE. ATLANTA IS LARGER (POPULATION WISE) THAT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF ESTONIA. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE THOUGH, AND I ENJOY THE PEOPLE HERE. I WENT TO CHURCH WITH SOME GOOD FRIENDS IN THE CITY OF TALLIN AND SPENT THE DAY WITH THEM. TOMORROW I WILL DRIVE ON TO RUSSIA. IT'S ABOUT A 6 HOUR DRIVE. THE WEATHER HERE IS WAY UGLY RIGHT NOW. COLD AND RAINY. SUN IS SETTING EARLY AND RISING LATE, SO THE DAYS ARE REALLY SHORT.

THIS WILL BE A BIG PRACTICE WEEK FOR YOU GUYS, SO MAKE SURE YOU GET THERE EARLY AND TRY TO MINIMIZE THE GOOF-OFF TIME. MY SON, ROBERT WILL BE HELPING OUT COACH WADDELL THIS WEEK, SO REMEMBER HE'S NEW AND CUT HIM SOME SLACK.
HEY, CLICK ON COMMENTS BELOW AND LEAVE ME ONE. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING SOMETIME. I'D LIKE THAT. I'LL BE POSTING HERE ALMOST EVERY DAY, SO CHECK IN DAILY!

Hey Coach Thigpen,
Glad to see you made it safely to Estonia and are ready to drive on in to Russia. I know you don't need this advice but i'll tell you anyway - keep your head up, eyes open and notice everything - situational awareness! Stay warm, we appreciate you very much here and are grateful to have met you, looking forward to seeing you again. We're praying for you. Be Well and God Bless you. Roger Beaty, rkbeaty@gmail.com

Hey Buddy: Glad to hear you have safely made your way halfway across the world. If you have the ability to upload pictures, I am sure we would all love to see some of what you see and experience there.
We are praying for you and your family.

Hi there,
Thanks for the encouragement. It's very moving to know there is someone far away who is taking the time to think of our sons while on a mission. I guess we were your mission in the USA. :)
Stay warm and take care. It is sunny, but really cold here!!
