We submitted our visa applications today. Next Tuesday we have to go and get our biometric data taken and then we just wait. If we are granted a visa, we’ll leave around the 1st of September. If not, we have a couple other options to try. Please pray with us, though. It would certainly be easiest if this one just goes through.

We’re really tired of waiting. I’m no longer that excited about possibilities and dreams – I just want to be able to invest. I want to be where we are instead of looking to the next thing. I want to take stock of where there is death and captivity and say: “we are here until things change.” Funny how “we are here…until our visa goes through” doesn’t have the same power to it…

God is good to us though. He’s even better than we think He is.

Mark
