Micah and I wanted to thank all of you who have been praying for us and share two prayer requests with you.
First, Lubo, who works here at the Ranc, and his family (wife & kids ages 3 & ~6 months) were in a car accident on the way home from vacation last Saturday. He ran head on into another car while passing.
Lubo and his wife, Katka, are in the hospital. The kids are staying with their grandparents. Timo the 3 year old has a broken collarbone and the baby Ester was not hurt. Katka has a broken hip. Lubo is having surgury today on two broken vertebrae in his lower back.
Please pray with us for Lubo and his family. Especially about his surgery. He is a very dear man and Micah has gotten to know him well as they worked together.
Second, There have been some problems with getting our temporary stay permits. In the words of our national director, "the whole process went for ages." This is relatively normal with official paperwork and Slovak bureaucracy. Without a temorary stay permit we are limited to being in the country 90 days every six months, so we will be traveling back to the states Friday. We are flying out of Budapest at 1:15 local time and will arrive in NYC at 5:10 EST. My sister is picking us up and we will spend a few days there before heading west to Ohio and staying with Micah's parents.
We will stay for Micah's brother's wedding at the end of October. Hopefully our paperwork will go through and we will return to Slovakia for the rest of our two year term after the wedding. Otherwise we will stay in the states for another month to "reset" our 90 days. Please pray for us as we make plans and fly on short notice. Also continue to pray for the temporary stay permit to come through.
