| Visa |
Here is an update on the visa situation, for anyone who has been worried.
This morning Kevin and I drove to Ndola, the immigration office, and talked to some lady. Told her someone had written that I needed a business visa by mistake and she said we’d have to pay a million kwacha and to go next door and talk to some other guy. So we went to talk to him, and he said we’d have to pay two million! So we were like, um but I am leaving next Tuesday, it’s only 4 days. He said oh well do you have your tickets? And Kevin said no. BUT I had put them into my bag, so I did have them. He told us to go make a photocopy of the tickets and my passport and his work permit (why, I don’t know). So we did and then he said to come back at 1400 and he’d give me an extension until Tuesday. He kept my passport though! I’m like hmm what if I don’t get that back? ;o) But we went into Ndola and shopped and looked at tiles and whatnot, killed time for a while, then went back and they weren’t ready yet. So we stood around there for another hour and a half, and finally he called us in and wrote out this paper that I signed and stamped my passport. So I have this paper to give to the people at Ndola Airport when I leave. But we didn’t have to pay any money! It was awesome. I had told Kevin earlier that I was fully expecting to pay no money at all. :) And the Lord worked it out. So awesome!
Thanks to all for your prayers; we serve a faithful God! :o) Hallelujah! |

Hi Em,
Thanks be to God! I am so happy to hear that it all turned out OK - I was really worried and will be so happy when you get back to the States and I can talk to you on the phone! Now I can go to the lake and relax tomorrow (if it doesn't rain again - bad floods in parts of NY, PA, and NJ. Cayuga lake very high! Bee and Tom should be in Denver by now! I love you so much!

That laast comment was from "other" not annonymous.

Amen and Amen. my stomach has been in knots. i am glad you're coming home soon.
i'm thinking that since you've already had so much trouble, you'd better not chance it and try to bring any babies home.(tee hee)
love you,

Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
