Chasing the paper trails!

Just a quick update – wanted to let you all know that we found out two weeks ago that my dad really does have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. His wife, Imelda, is now with him in Spokane. Some sisters have already been there helping out. Please continue to pray with me that his house will sell in the Philippines and for his healing. Thanks!

What's new here in Romania?? Still chasing the paper trails of getting my visa (one more document to go), working on setting up the non-profit foundation (which they say takes 6 months) and NO, the audiometer is still not out of customs after 8 weeks (sorry to say!). Patience and endurance seem to be the most-needed character traits for me right now interspersed with a loads of understanding and a sense of humor. Otherwise, it would not look pretty!

Things have been going forward nicely at the pediatric hospital, for which I am very grateful. For now I will be concentrating on the pediatric hospital and my doctoral studies until I have the non-profit in place and can accept donations correctly under the foundation. I believe that I need to have this set up before dispensing any more hearing aids. Hopefully I will be able to procure some sources by then. I also believe that the Lord is working on my behalf in that regard.

Two more weeks with this latest course, then two glorious weeks off before starting up another one. I hope you are enjoying your summer!
