The Last Days

Hi everyone!
I just talked with my lovely wife via land line. Internet use for them in Bogota is not reliable. Shirlene and Melissa et. al. arrived in Bogota Monday morning and had a full agenda to find a place to live and get the kids in for their final physician check ups. She found them a lovely one room hotel to live in until the kids get their visas from the embassy. They thought they could do that today (Tues.) but the American embassy was closed in observance of Veteran's Day. They were assured it would be completed by tomorrow so Shirlene called the airlines to get their tickets changed. Unfortunately, COPA didn't have any available flights until this coming Saturday at 4PM. Which would put them touching down in DC at 1AM Sunday. It should be an exausting week for them as they are living in tight quarters with no food provided. Then the long flight home followed by passing through US Customs. Please continue to pray for my Shirlene's and Melissa's strength, stamina and endurance. If anyone is currently praying for patience for them...please stop.

Wow, it is getting close. I will continue to pray especially for Shirlene as she tries to care for all the children's differing needs in close quarters in a different country. I am sure God is doing a big work in each of your lives.
