February 1st is coming up soon, and we have so much to do before we leave! Please be praying for that process. Another thing that we are concerned about is Katya’s mom’s health. She needs both of her hips replaced, and we’re not really sure where to start. With current prices, it costs about $10,000 including rehabilitation after the operations; however, we think it would be much better for her to go to Poland or Latvia (or some other country) to get a better-quality operation.

There’s a lot of other things that we are going through, deciding, and thinking about as we prepare to leave. We really appreciate the prayers. God’s working!
