I will walk by faith even when I cannot see,
Because this broken road,
Prepares Your will for me.

Dear Family and Friends,
It has been particularly difficult to say good-bye to everyone this time. The fact we have been here almost seven months coupled with the attachment to our nephew has made by last few days very tearful ones. We have made new precious new friends and rekindled relationships with old ones that are making it seem like leaving for the first time. I know God’s grace is sufficient even when circumstances dictate difficult changes and good-byes. Below is one of my recent favorite photos of us with our nephew. He will be accompanying us to the airport today along with his Dad (my brother) and his Mom. We will miss them all terribly. (More tears now.)
Daniel and I are also faced with challenges of the unknown this time. We do not have a home to return to this time as we moved out of our apartment last September. We have sweet American missionary friends who are allowing us to stay in their home until we find one. We would appreciate your prayers that it would happen quickly. Also, we sold our car last fall before we left so I will not have transportation when we return. We covet your prayers for these personal and ministry needs.
Although Daniel’s knee is healing well, he is experiencing pain right now probably because of all the packing and moving of luggage we have done over the past few days. He asked for you to pray for this pain and limp to dissipate quickly.
We will be meeting another couple, Dave and Cheryl Pickert, in Budapest, Hungary tomorrow. They are coming over for ten days to design and install a flower garden in our courtyard at Agape Home. This is their first time traveling outside the USA so please pray for them. They are excited and a bit nervous as you can imagine. They have two small children their family will be caring for while they are with us.
We will update you next week when we have the chance. We are thrilled to be seeing our beloved friends and employees in Romania. Thank you for your continued prayers and faithful support in so many ways!
Basking in the Son,
Michelle
