Prayer Requests

Prayer requests:
1. Today Marina the director and Nadia, Vera’s sister in law, were robbed loading furniture into their car. A man grabbed their purses and drove away. Marina is scarped up from pulling on the purses when he started driving. Marina says “He looked like a small mafia. I don’t need the money, but our passports and my car papers. I can’t drive without them and Nadia can’t travel back to Moscow. The police were very kind and now they are looking.” Praise the Lord for that, and pray it’s recovered.
Later: PRAISE! the thieves answred the cell phone and told us where they left the passports after taking the money! and we got them.
2. Pray for a girl who has a two-year-old child and was suicidal. She had agreed to join our program but her boyfriend has pressured her out of it. Pray she may change her mind, or for her protection elsewhere.
3. Gary’s request is for the girls to desire to start reading the scriptures on their own besides the group devotions.
4. Pray for the two new girls coming to our apartment.
5. Pray for Marina’s adjustment. She threatens to leave every time something discourages her.
6. Pray for Ira’s studies, that she’ll do well and persevere this year. Through a great deal of persuasion Lucia has got her into a regular college instead of one for orphans, which is never allowed, and how she does will affect future orphans. Lucia says Ira tends to give up when she doesn’t understand something (most of them seem like that; they don‘t have the confidence to fail). Also, Lucia missed a meeting with the teachers while finding the stolen documents - pray she can explain to them.
7. Tomorrow Pam is having surgery for gall bladder stones. Praise that we found out what was making her sick.
