Dear family and friends,
As we anticipate the end of our time here in Hungary, we want to thank you for your faithful prayers and words of encouragement. God has used them to sustain us over these past 5 weeks. The next few days are of great import in finishing the process and getting home.
Friday--we travel to Mateszalka to gain official custody of Max and obtain his birth certificate. Please pray for the 4 hour round trip and no glitches in paperwork.
Jeff's dad is also expected to arrive here in Hajduszobloszo that afternoon. Please pray for his safety and smoothness in travel.
Sunday--we leave for Budapest. Please pray for ease in packing everything up and this first of several transitions for Max.
Monday--first thing in the morning we go to apply for Max's passport. That afternoon he has an appointment with a doctor for a required report. Please pray again for no glitches in paperwork and peace for Max as he is examined.
Tuesday--in the afternoon we have to get a visa for Max to travel. This is the wild card in terms of timing. Hard to guarantee. Please pray that we will be able to obtain it either that afternoon or first thing Wednesday a.m.
Wednesday--flight leaves from Budapest at 1:30 p.m. Arrives in London 3:30 p.m. Leaves for Chicago @ 5:30 p.m. Arrives in Chicago @ 10:30 p.m. Leaves for Indy at 11:30 p.m. Arrives in Indy @ 12:25 p.m. (6 hour time difference between here and Indy). Jeff's dad is with us through Chicago. Please pray for safety and timeliness in travel as well as for Max and us with this marathon travel day.
Thanks again to all of you. We're hanging on to this verse sent to us today by our friend Kathryn:
"When you walk, your steps will not be hampered . . ." Proverb 4:12
Love to you all!
