Our friend who is staying with us - Placido's ex "colleague" - is anxiously awaiting papers that will allow him to return to his country. He is staying with our family and it has been our privilege to walk with him through this nerve-wracking time as we all face our fears and try to trust God. For us it is hard to have the cigarette smoke that calms him and for him it is hard to wait in a home where there is so much hustle and bustle when all he wants is peace and quiet. He is, however, so very happy to be free and so close to going home. Please pray with us for open doors in immigration and join us in blessing the Irish consulate for being so kind and helpful through this process.
