PRAISE AND MORE URGENT PRAYER

October 11

Thought we were about at the end of the Ukraine journey, but I guess not yet...   David is running into some problems with the exiting process that we really need prayer for.

1)  VITYA'S PASSPORT: We paid quite a bit to have Vitya's passport process expedited.  It was supposed to be ready this morning.  Based on this, David and Vitya had bus tickets booked to Kiev this afternoon. 
They had an appt. with the US embassy for tomorrow and Thursday to finish up the exiting process, leaving Friday to take care of any extra details
They have plane tickets  booked  to fly home on Sunday
PROBLEM:  There was a problem with the passport, so now they are saying it won't be ready before  Thursday.  If this happens, everything else will be delayed and David and Vitya will not make their flight on Sunday.
PRAYER NEED:   
We either need a miracle that Vitya's passport will  be ready tomorrow  OR The US Embassy will be able to do all of their paperwork on Friday, instead of in 2 two days.

2) PAPERWORK FOR VITYA'S MEDICAL RELEASE is being held up here in Columbia.  I need to be able to get that today and fax it to the US embassy.

3) WE NEED FAVOR WITH THE US EMBASSY for our insurance coverage to be considered adequate coverage by them for Vitya's HIV.

4) Vitya is restless and bored and doesn't want to do anything. He is very anxious to get the process over and come to America.  David is trying to press in, but he is tired of the process, too, and feeling some discouragement.

5)  We are still feeling overwhelmed here at home and ready to get them home.  David and I are trying to make parenting decisions over the phone and by texting and that is very difficult.

6)  Also, we need some healing in our family.  Bethany has a bad sore throat and LL has a very bad case of poison ivy.

WE ALL SO WANT TO PRAISE GOD FOR HIS AMAZING FINANCIAL PROVISION.  WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MEET ALL OF OUR NEEDS FOR THE ADOPTION AND QUITE A BIT OF OUR PERSONAL NEEDS.  THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS SACRIFICE AND YOUR MANY PRAYERS.  YOU HAVE HELPED MAKE THIS POSSIBLE!!!

Blessings and may the Lord's Grace and Peace be with us all,
