Coming to a close

My time here is coming to a close. I have less than two weeks left here in Lithuania. Thank you to all of you who have kept me in your prayers. I firmly believe you are the reason why God has been blessing me here. Praise God. My dad asked me what part of this trip has affected me the most. My answer is that you really don't know what you have until you've lost it. Whats affected me so much is not being able to be with those you love. My family, my friends, my church are all out of my reach. I have learned a very simple lesson of gratefulness. One of my favorite moments while being here was at camp. I wanted so badly for everyone to know Jesus and I was hoping and praying that I would find Jesus at this camp. The first two nights I was still starved other than a couple friends that I had made who were believers. But the third night the band started to play worship songs. I was so overjoyed!!! I was desperate for Jesus. I don't think I stopped smiling that entire night! I learned that when you are desperate for Jesus he ALWAYS shows up! Praise God that He is the same God here in Lithuania. Thank you all again for your prayers and support of this ministry.
