Well, we are still in the ol' USA even though we planned to leave July 7th. LST has assured us that they are doing everything possible to get our visas to us. We still don't know why we are delayed. I've been learning that my plan is not important, but God decides when things should happen. When we started the process to go to Natal, we asked God that we would follow His will, not our own. I believe that He is teaching me that even when I think that I am laying out a plan for Him, I may be laying out MY plan and just expecting God to approve my plan and go along with it and bless me.
Cyndi and I are living out in the country with her mom and dad, Mary and Earl and brother, Tristan. There's plenty of room and I am still doing Bible Study Guide work full-time. The dining room table is my desk! Quite a change for me. I've always worked in an office and am learning to adjust to working at home. It's going really well and I am glad I can work full-time, while we wait to leave for Brazil.
Please pray for our visa to come exactly when God wants it to come and pray that God will help us to be patient.
