Friends' visas

I'm still praising the Lord that He gave us our visas early this time. That reminds me to pray for all our friends who are waiting for visas, though. It seems like there are a lot of them in that position right now. Please pray with me for

• The Mankins: hopefully headed back to Papua New Guinea tomorrow, but waiting for paperwork
• The Beairds
• The Dulins and the S family: trying to get temporary residence permits in Russia
• The Palmers: visas for Australia didn't come in time, so they're waiting again
