Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:2-4)

We are writing this update with anxious hearts. Many of you have been praying for our visa situation for several months and we are so thankful for your prayers. David's has been approved, but Keri's and the kids' have not. We contacted the consulate Tuesday and they agreed to mail our passports back to us since we are leaving Monday (meaning Keri will have to return within 90 days and pick up her visa once it is approved. She and the kids can still travel to Spain as "tourists," until the 90 day limit is up). They sent our passports via overnight express mail Tuesday but the post office has no record of it being picked up and cannot locate the package. There's not much we can do at this point but pray and wait. Please pray with us about this situation. 1) that our passports will be found, 2) that the Lord will continue to work in our hearts to develop patience and perseverance.

We will update you as soon as we know more.

With much love and gratitude,

David and Keri Young
