New Year’s Night Memories from 2011.

New Year Memories :) January 1, 2011, I will never forget Matt Newton’s first night with us. We were having New Years meeting at the church before the wild fireworks – He was going to be impressive & use Lithuanian… The only problem was… Matt knew NO Lithuanian. So he ask Tyler how to say Praise the Lord… Tyler, being the sweet child he is, told him to say… Užsičiaupk … So Matt not knowing stood up with his hands raised and shouted Užsičiaupk = Shut Up! LOL Everyone roared with laughter!!!
Then we had the grand idea to walk to the center of Vilnius, City Hall & watch the fireworks… Not a good idea. Let’s just say fireworks and alcohol do NOT mix. They were shooting off the REALLY big ones when a really waisted guy decided it wasn’t interesting enough… So he walks over and kicks one over right after it had been lit. People were running everywhere! I looked around and Tony was climbing out of a huge pile of snow… He had dove in for safety! LOL Not funny then, but definitely funny now. Thank the Lord for protection from the very beginning of the year :) and for ALL His goodness!
Tonight we spent the evening with friends. We enjoyed a nice time of fellowship and then we exited the old & entered the New Year with thanksgiving & prayer. (love this) Then the fireworks from our own yard. :) (We
love watching the neighbors fireworks lol :)
Happy New Year! We love and appreciate you all! Let’s expect GREATER things this year!

  1. Good morning,

    I am a soldier with the Pennsylvania National Guard. It looks Like Me and my family may be selected for a position as a liaison with the Lithuanian Armed Forces.

    My wife and I have been praying about this and the idea of missions has surfaced.

    Could you send me a reply email? I would like to find out more about Lithuania for my interview, and I am also interested in the needs of the mission field.

    Thank you for your time
    Greg McElwain
