There’s no place like home…There’s no place like home…

We have spent the morning trying to cover every possible avenue available to us to make sure we can leave Wednesday night. There are many in Colombia and in America with the courage to help us. People are driving all over to get the paperwork to Colombia. Our embassy friend is working and has been available 24 hours a day. The doctor just left and only charged 200,000 pesos (a little over $100) for seeing both Kay and Nasko. She is returning tomorrow to follow up, no extra charge. And yes, you heard right, it’s a house call. Rep Tim Walberg’s office is following up with the embassy to make sure they are doing everything possible. We were denied an embassy person to accompany us through immigration, but his office will also make the request. The guest house is allowing us to stay for free which saves about $450.

Jason is flying back here Tuesday night. As a backup, the documents are being transmitted to the embassy. Another backup would be for war to break out between the US and Colombia and then the embassy would have to get us out. Keep Jason in your prayers as he has had very little sleep or food and will be working again tonight before flying Tuesday night to Colombia.

Kay and Nasko are on medication now. Nasko does not have chicken pox. They are on bed rest until tomorrow. We just need them past the vomiting and diarrhea phases so they can get on the plane.

Now that the paperwork is completed things have settled down a little here. Sara is doing better as well.  We appreciate all your prayers and your many offers to help. You have said you felt helpless, but trust us, we know that feeling. It’s just really good to know that God is in control. Our theme last week at CRAN was “strong and courageous” and we’ve been leaning on God a lot for strength and courage. Next year though, let’s make the theme a little easier. Something like “fun and games.”
