First Things First

If you love European adventures, volunteer service, giving aid to others, and unique experiences you've come to the right place!

My husband and I accepted an assignment to live abroad as an area welfare specialist volunteer in the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. We will be assisting other volunteers to relieve suffering, foster self-reliance, and identify and help with humanitarian projects for the people living in northern Europe.

During the next eighteen months, I will live in Riga, Latvia experiencing all that the North Europe Area has to offer. As I do, I will write and share what I am seeing and experiencing along with humanitarian projects we are involved with during this awesome Baltic mission journey.

My name is Cathie Schultz, along with my husband Greg, we freely accepted to leave the comforts of our home and serve as senior humanitarian missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We had been discussing missions for a couple years and agree now is our time to go. We are enjoying great happiness, feel very blessed, and realize there is great need for senior missionaries throughout the world. So we accepted the opportunity.

We will leave our blended family of eight children and twelve grandchildren for a year and a half and also put aside our active lifestyle in our Las Vegas community. We feel impressed to accept this once-in-a-life-time opportunity to move away from familiar and embark on something filled with purpose and eternal rewards. 

So, come follow along as I discover world class cities, sprawling landscapes, rich cultures, fascinating people, delicious culinary delights, a mix of old with new, and of course, humanitarian relief projects. I look forward to sharing my thoughts and photographs while you watch and follow along.
