Moving, Flying, and Praying

Hello Everyone,
I just want to give you a little update with what is going on with the Roper family

MOVING
Yesterday we started the process in renovating our new apartment. Today the Lord blessed us with many helpers who came by and helped us paint, put up new wallpaper, and prepare for the wall that must be put up next week. I know that it has only been a few days that we have had the keys to our new apartment, but each time we go into this apartment, we are completely amazed on how much the Lord has blessed us with this place. When we are done, we will make a little video or something. Please do continue to pray for all the work that must continue to go into the renovating and then the final moving. We do praise the Lord already for so much help!

FLYING
On Monday, I (Joey) will be flying to California for one week to do my grandmother's funeral. A friend of ours is helping me with a STAND BY ticket. The reason why we are doing it this way is because of the cost that she can offer us. It is way less and so a little more affordable. Right now, being that it is summer time, the ticket prices are ridiculously high, and so we are moving forward with this.
So please do be praying that I can get on the 14:00 (2pm) flight from Frankfurt to San Fransisco and also on the flight from San Fransisco to LAX.

PRAYING
As the date gets closer to my grandmother's funeral, we are praying more and more. We are asking you to once again join us in prayer for this date, Friday, August 20th. Please be praying for my family and relatives as well as for the Holy Spirit to be working in the hearts of all of those there at the funeral!
