Totzke Prayer Communique

Dear Praying Friends,

Tomorrow is the long-awaited day that we are scheduled to
leave for Prague. Over the weekend our plan changed
slightly. Oh we’re still going to Prague and Larry will be
leaving on Wednesday just as planned, but Sylvia’s arrival
will be delayed by a week. On Friday we found out that
Sylvia’s sister, Lin, was in the hospital facing surgery.
Lin had a routine colonoscopy on Thursday and while removing
a polyp they perforated her colon. She had surgery on
Saturday to repair the colon but remains in the hospital.
Lin lives in Seattle with her four cats with us as her
closest family members. You see, there are only four of us
– Lin, us, and their mom Hilda who lives in Pittsburgh.
Hilda was waiting anxiously to see what was happening to her
sister in Germany who had a stroke earlier this year and
wasn’t doing well physically and eventually had to be
hospitalized.

Sylvia left for Seattle on Monday to be with her sister. We
were able to change our travel arrangements for her so that
she could fly to Prague from Seattle on June 10th. We are
thankful that God worked out all of the details for this
change.

So please pray that Larry’s trip is safe and that Sylvia
is a good caregiver for her sister and her cats.

God’s blessings on all of you.
Larry and Sylvia
