Just wanted to bring y’all up to speed on what has been going on in my life as of late. The reason you haven’t seen anything posted on here since I asked for prayer about my visa situation is that, up until earlier today, it was not resolved. I was very hesitant to post on the world wide web that I didn’t have all of my documents in order. I was stopped in a border region a week ago (on my 180th day), and had my documents checked, so I was a bit gun-shy. So, here’s the current info:
Josh called today to let me know that my passport had been shipped back to L’viv, and it should be ready to pick up. After finishing tracting in 2 villages, Nathan and I went to pick it up. Thankfully, all went well, and it was there ready to pick up. After taking a breath, I opened the envelope to see if I had been registered (I had not heard for sure). Flipping through the pages, I found it! Took up a whole page but there it was! 
Finally, I’ll be able to sleep at night 
Thank you to all of you who have been praying about this. It’s been a bit of a pain, but God’s will was done.
For those of you who don’t know, I’ll be flying out of L’viv on Monday heading to the States for a nearly 3 week trip. I will be attending a discipleship conference in CO lead by Eric Ludy, and I will be attending Patriot Academy in Austin while in the USA. It will be a full 19 day trip, but I am really looking forward to it! Plus, I’ll be in town for my Mom’s birthday (which is why no one has heard about it, it was going to be a surprise, but my bank messed up…). I will be speaking at Fairpark Baptist Church (6000 Crowley Rd, Fort Worth) on Wednesday, August 12th in the 7pm service. I invite y’all to stop by (if you’re able) and see how the work over here is going. There should be a Q&A time, so that will be … interesting
Again, thank you so much for the prayers about my registration! Please keep my trip back to the States in prayer (I’m flying LOT, and have had problems w/ them in the past…), that my trip will be a fruitful trip, and I will learn the lessons I need to Also, keep in prayer the CMO team. The project will be concluding while I’m in the States.
Team info Update (click on their name to check out their web page): The Steele Family will be heading to the States at the end of August for about 8 months. Nathan Day will be heading back about a month later to GET MARRIED! (Congratulations ) The happy couple will be returning to Ukraine in January 2010. The Beal Family (or part of them) is going to be making a quick trip to Poland in the next few weeks to get some passport/visa stuff done. Denise Hutchison is going through the process of registration right now as well, so I’m sure she’d appreciate your prayers. And through it all, our Bible Course continues to grow (getting close to 400 student! PTL ) and requests for Good and Evil continue to come in! God is working here in Ukraine!
God bless, see some of y’all soon, some of y’all later, and (prayerfully) all of you in Heaven!
