Back home from Germany - minus two!

We made it back home from our trip to take Kurt and Kelli to Germany. It's a long trip - almost 20 hours one way!! The trip home was much quieter without Kurt and Kelli! But, they are enjoying school and dorm life so far.
Kelli enjoys her dorm - it's smaller than the others with only 14 girls. She likes her roommate, Ami (pronounced Ah-mee, not like Amy) - that's her in the picture with Kelli. Kelli has joined the Drama Outreach Team, is looking forward to daily hikes up the hill behind their dorm, and is working on making a website for herself and for her dorm. She was excited to get into Graphic Design class; she's the only freshman in there and is loving it! She laughs because she has classes with some of Kurt's good friends! Kurt told us that whenever he sees Kelli, she has this huge smile on her face. We're so thankful that Kelli is liking BFA.

Kurt was excited to be back in his dorm with his fellow Sonne Knights. His friend Brian (on the left) and another friend Josh are in his dorm as new students this year. Kurt's also glad to have Andrew (on the right). He grew up in Belgrade, and he and Kurt have become very close friends the last few years. Kurt jumped right back into BFA life, including spending the first night camped out at the school with other guys (BFA tradition). He has his own room this year and is loving that. He even told us that it helps him study better! Yea!

This year, there are 10 IMB students at BFA from our region (CEE) - that's a lot of acronyms! The kids from our region are growing up! We're thankful for your gifts and offerings to Lottie Moon Cooperative Program that enable our kids to go to BFA for high school. Many of these families would otherwise have to return to the States. It's such a blessing to be able to have this opportunity for our kids and for us to remain on the field and work for the Lord here. Thanks!
