Cundiff family updates
The main activity for the Cundiffs in February was the opportunity to visit Prague in the Czech Republic. Our dear friends and fellow missionaries, the Bombaro family, moved there around the same time that we moved to Latvia.
During this visit, we visited with all the Prague-based LCMS missionaries and their families. We met most of them during the Missionary Retreat in Latvia last August, but we finally met Cody Mock and his family. Initially, they were meant to be deployed to Riga, Latvia, but visa woes forced them to look to the Czech Republic, at least for the time being. Cody, the new IT specialist in the region for Luther Academy in Riga, has helped Quintin and Lindsay immensely with all things technology! (Praise be to God!) We had a wonderful time with all the missionaries in Prague!
Quintin’s Ph.D. classes will continue in April at the seminary in Fort Wayne, so he is focusing more attention on the Academy here in Riga right now. He heads to Hamburg, Germany, in March for an Academy faculty meeting; they will evaluate the recent and current courses and discuss adjustments and plans for future semesters.
Lindsay finally applied to the University of Nebraska Medical Center for RN-to-BSN studies. Her application goes to the selection board within the next month. She will begin those classes in the Fall of 2024 if all goes as planned.
We are still in the planning phases of our Home Service, which is currently scheduled for June and July 2024. We have a limited number of Sundays during that time, of course, but we may be reaching out to see if we can schedule some midweek gatherings to talk about the incredible work happening in Latvia and the rest of the region!
