> Wow! So much can change in 24 hours!

> Housing and food are out of pocket expenses for us not covered by our

> So in the morning, we decided to make an offer to the insurance company.

> and I arrive in Denver late afternoon on Monday. Our current tickets have us
> returning to Almaty June 13th. That gives us about 3 weeks to get the help
> we need. We'll be staying with Dave's mom in Littleton. Our phone number
> there is 303 904 3673.
> We've been on a ride. So much emotion, uncertainty, but there's been an

> Amber still has cough but is in good spirits. Ruthie is really bummed

> from us that long. She's feeling the effects of everyone paying attention to
> Amber and feeling overlooked a nd forgotten. We need wisdom how to love her
> through this as well. However she has begun to give me a list of the items
> she'd like me to bring back for her. My sweet husband is very tired and
> weary. He has offered his strength for our family in such a God honoring
> way, seeking God's face through this whole thing. I'm so very proud of him
> and feel well loved by him. He needs rest. Maybe after we leave town he'll
> be able to put his feet up for a while! I feel like I've been stretched by
> a taffy pulling machine emotionally, physically and spiritually. But I have
> an overall sense of well being. I'm tired and looking forward to getting on
> that plane.

> Praise:
> 1. The Insurance company will pay the whole cost for us to evacuate to
> Denver
> 2. We get to be Colorado for Father's Day
> 3. We'll act ually be getting on to a plane early Monday morning.

> Prayer:
> 1. That we would be directed to a neurologist in Littleton who can give us
> an accurate diagnosis for Amber.
> 2. Safe travel for Wendy and Amber
> 3. Rest for Dave
> 4. Comfort for Ruthie while our family is in different places
> 5. Perseverance and strength for Wendy in tying up loose ends and packing
