Rejoice with me!!

So, picked up my visa today... At first I saw a "60 days" reference and thought, "Hrm, okay, not so great, but it'll do..." I had to make a small effort to be happy anyway, because Jesus had said that whatever I got would be right. Then, I sent off a picture of the visa to someone, just to check on what type of visa it is, because there was also reference to a date 5 years from now... and here's what she said:

"Anyway, this is a great visa, the best available, GBY, make sure to celebrate!"

So woohoo! Yaaay! :)

Earlier in the day, I had met one of the friends of the Home here and he was saying something about how the Lord is trying to teach him to have more faith (you can pray for him to grow in this area -- his name is Noe), so I told him I knew what he meant and explained this visa ordeal and how I'd be picking it up later, how it's a test of my faith, etc. Of course, when I picked up the passport/visa and saw "60 days", someone was like, "Well, after that sermon, you need to be happy anyway." And I was like, "Well, 'sermon' or not, I'm going to be happy anyway, just for my own sanity." Heheh.

Anyway, this whole thing has been a great test of my faith. I know it probably seems simple or trivial, but it's a pretty big factor in my travels and trips, at least for me, because I like to have everything squared away and tidy and I really wanted it to work out smoothly, as best as could be. So, praise the Lord! I really am in the best situation I could be, as far as that goes, and I know it's due to your prayers.

Thank YOU!
