We asked for prayers here and they were answered, in the positive way......less than 24 hours later. Deo gratias!

Now, we heard last week that Matthew has been accepted into the Rotary foreign exchange program   

and........he will be in southern Switzerland!!!

Could you please pray for us as we prepare to send him off........that they find safe homes for him to live with good families.....Catholic would be great .....and esp that a Catholic church be very close, each time. And, that he can get all of his loose ends tied up as he prepares to be graduated this spring?

I would so appreciate your prayers.......thank you!!

He will not leave until July or August.

Oh, and we had a little trouble with the passport situation.....I MUST blog about that! Please pray the passport will come quickly!!!! AND, without further mishap!

Yahoo, great news!! I've just been immersing myself in the writings of a famous Swiss person, Fr Johann Künzle, a renowned Catholic herbalist in his day!

What an exciting time Matthew will have, I'll be praying for smooth sailing from this point on and that he will be given the perfect family to live with.
