Hi again Ladies! I feel like I am asking for a lot with my second request this week, but we are having a major crisis right now.

We have an exchange student living with us and is supposed to be here until the end of June. She decided today that she would like to leave us and live with another family. I am incredibly broken hearted and none of us want her to leave . She feels like there is too much chaos in our house and that she does not get enough alone time or freedom. We were not really aware that there was a problem as she chose not to tell us what was going on. I have been talking to our area rep all day trying to figure this out, but she just informed me (via text message) that she has decided to leave.

Please, please pray that we can get this worked out. It breaks my heart to think of her not living here anymore and of all the time we won't get to spend with her anymore. I know in the grand scheme of things, this is beans, but I would love a miracle here. I would love for her to stay.

Blessings,
Betsie

Betsie, you have all my prayers. We went through this same situation about 14 years ago, and it still disturbs me.

Well, thanks again for all of your prayers! We sat down and worked everything out last night. It was a horrible weekend as we waited for her to come home from her friends house so we could talk, but it all worked out in the end. If you will keep praying that things continue to go smoothly until the end of June, we would all really appreciate it. It is very hard for her to handle being around 5 young children all the time and we need all the help we can get to keep everything moving forward. Thanks again!

Blessings,
Betsie
