Le Papillon

Thank you so much for your support and prayers! At my current level I can purchase my ticket, however I need a Visa to stay in France for two years. Therefore until I receive my Visa I should not purchase an airline ticket (unless God leads otherwise of course). So if you could pray for the remainder of my support to come in and the Visa process it would be greatly appreciated! It appears that I will likely leave the beginning of May as I still need to have my background check mailed to me and my birth certificate translated into French. Upon arrival in France I must register with at the local prefecture (police station) and

present my Visa and birth certificate for official verification of my Visa and stay. I have contacted both the French Consulate in LA and the honorary one in Denver to find translation services but have heard nothing in response yet. These too could be put to prayer. I also do not have any more churches at which to speak which is another matter for prayer.

I am still working at the hospital but I had planned to cease at the end of March. With an early May departure I think it best to work through mid April and will do so if I can get my CPR recertified tomorrow- it expires at the end of March. When I do end my job I am planning to have a going away party to say goodbye to friends and family. I am looking

forward to this (even though it will be bitter sweet) as it will give me one more chance to see many of them and to witness and share the gospel with others before I leave.

Since my most recent update God has given me great opportunities for witnessing and sharing the gospel at work. He has provided not only for me in terms of missions but many other ways as well. I had a dentist appointment last week and had been previously praying for it to be free. After the cleaning I left, forgetting to pay. Halfway home I realized this and turned around. When I arrived back at the dentist I asked the price (because I have no insurance) and they told me it was on them! Soon before I leave I will sell my car so I have Blue Booked it to discover it's value. I will be able to sell it for $400-600 more than I bought it for! In my devotions God has been teaching and comforting me with His power and creating a satisfied spirit within me! Please join with me in praising God for His goodness, faithfulness, grace, mercy, lovingkindness, wisdom, power and presence! God is not good. He is AWESOME!!!
