I've been in Lithuania now for 12 days and it still doesn't seem really. I have lived in three different apartments and now I have my apartment that I will be living in for the next two years. The 5 of us move into my apartment on September 27th. Jen and Peter got an apartment that is in the same complex as mine and moved in the next day. So now it me and Matt & Sharon. It has been great having them live with me! This way I am not living by myself and have some great company, but we are really praying that they can find an apartment soon so they can start settling in and making a home here!
God has been so good! I feel so blessed by Him! I was praying for an apartment that felt like home and He went above and behond! There were things that I really wanted to have, but could have lived without and God gave them to me! Like a dryer! I almost cried when I saw it! Dryers are not common at all, most people hang dry their clothes. I will post some pictures of my apartment soon.
We got to go to a student gathering last night for a different organization and it was so refreshing just to hang around students! It made me realize that I can't wait to start our ministry! I'm so excited!
I'm not really struggling with anything huge right now like I thought I would be. I just imagined that being a missionary I would always have some big struggle always looming over me. I'm just taking a day at a time and putting it in the Lord's hands and it makes things a lot easier! I'm not carrying the world on my shoulders and I know that if something happens that it's in the Lord's hands and He will take care of it. I am so thankful that I serve such a big God!!!!

Dearest Kelly, being in the center of God's will is the greatest satisfaction....the greatest fullfilment and then the struggles come because of our enemy...love you dearly and pray that God will allow you to make this place your HOME. We had a great time with Jason the other day!!
Hey Kellie,
Glad to hear about the dryer! I lept in the air with excitement. I am looking forward to seeing the pictures of what the flat looks like, and I can't wait to enjoy the smells and get to see a little bit more. Miss ya
Kellie B! Thanks so much for all your posts and pics ... it's great to see Lithunania through your eyes. You are missed but not forgotten. Love you :)
