Peters' return visit set the pattern for returning to Latvia yearly, visiting again with his mother. And it was a good excuse for Peters to
bring more camera equipment!
We are overjoyed to report that Usma's Wood Church, the site of Peters' parents' wedding, began to once again host a small congregation in 2002, holding services twice a month, and that the church itself has been restored through initial and ongoing projects. The church even has a web site: www.usmasbaznica.lv/.
