Minnesota

In a whirlwind, we finished up in Beaver Falls. I worked my last shift at Starbucks, Steve graduated, we packed up the moving truck, and drove to Minnesota (all in just a few days!). It was emotionally and physically tiring, but we made it - it feels good to be home!

We'll be working at Camp Lebanon this summer. I'm in the office, and Steve is the Christian Education Director. On Saturday, we have to go be recertified for first aid/CPR, and then on Sunday afternoon, staff training week officially starts (as does our busy, busy summer!).

Until then, we've been working on going to the dentist and to the eye doctor, and getting Minnesota Driver's licenses (and other such errands of that nature).

In Lithuania news, we are currently working on writing support letters to fundraise the money we need to live there. I feel like we've been behind on getting that information figured out and sent out, but we're working on it and still trusting that God will provide!

Here is a photo album of our last week or so in Pennsylvania.

Language Lessons

In Lithuania, they speak "Lithuanian."
At LCC, classes are taught in "English."
We've heard that at the end of the day, the language of the dorms is "Russian."

The Sunday before last, we talked for a little while in church about where we're going and what we're doing, etc.

Then yesterday when we got to church, our friends who sit in front of us had a gift - The Rosetta Stone, Level 1 Russian (A cool computer program that will teach us basic Russian!). It was an incredibly thoughtful gift, and one that we will use a lot! We are very thankful!
