Dominic, Greg, Joshua, and Edna
We spent May trying to see everyone and to take care of all of our administrative (Edna's visa) and medical needs (all of us). It seems like there is never enough time to get it all done and see all of our friends and family. We had planned to return to Ukraine on June 30th, but it's looking like we may have to extend our stay until all of our medical needs can be taken care of, especially for Edna. We still haven't gotten an answer from the doctors as to what can be done for the constant pain she endures and the loss of mobility related to her spinal disorders. Hopefully they can at least recommend a course of treatment that will allow us all to return to our home in Ukraine soon. We know that God will see us through these times and all will be done according to His perfect will.
Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us, encouraged us, and supported us. You continually build us up for the work laid before us in Christ Jesus.
