Prayer Requests from the LeTexier Family in France!
Thanks for being a weekly prayer partner! ~ John and Darlene
PRAISES
-Thanks for praying for Karis's passport application. Somehow her passport was sent to the wrong person, and we received someone else's passport. The USA consulate told us this is a very unusual occurence. Thanks to your prayers however, Karis's passport was located, and we will be receiving it this week.
-Thanks for praying for our passport application. The appointment went very smoothly, and we were given temporary visas while we wait for our first permanent visa "card" :)
-Our meeting with our teammates went very well, and we are very encouraged in how the LORD is leading us.
PRAYER REQUESTS
-Pray that we will have some focused and memory-making time with our kids this week and the days until August 25th when we take them to the Black Forest Academy for the coming academic year. We are grateful for these summer weeks with all three of them together.
-Pray for John this week as he turns 50 years old ;)
