Just wanted to let you know that Latvia is grieving and standing with us in this horrendous time of trial.  We have personally received a great outpouring of sympathy, solidarity and support from our friends here.  So many are living out the biblical command to "weep with those who weep."  You have many friends here, both Russian and Latvian.  The pictures below will help to tell the story.

	These Latvian and Russian language notes and flowers were left at the American Embassy in Riga.
	This children’s drawing, though rain damaged, says in Russian at the Bottom, “You are in our hearts.”
	Flowers, notes, and candles down the entire block across the street from the U.S. Embassy in Riga.

God bless you, and God bless America!
