More Information

This morning I woke up to an email from our District Superintendent in Australia. He is the one who has been communicating with us about the immigration office and what they need from us. He informed us that the immigration office needs more information from us in order to receive confirmation of our nomination (the last thing we need for our visa). They need evidence that we will not be a financial burden on the country for the 2 years that we are there. Basically, we need to send them our budget and how it is broken down. We need to prove to them that our funds have been raised and how we will receive the funds while we are there. Thankfully, we can easily do this! The last time they needed information we had to run all over town for 2 days to try to get what they needed. Then, at the end of the email, he said that the immigration office will plan on looking at our case again on May 30th. Please pray with us that this will be the last thing that they need so that we can leave for Australia soon.

Waiting has been difficult, as we've expressed before. Last night, Sean and I were praying that God would some how give us some sort of encouragement to know that things were still moving along since it had been so long since we'd heard anything. Even though the email this morning wasn't exactly what we wanted to hear, I am so grateful to know that they are looking at our application. We know that they are looking at it again in 2 weeks. Please pray that we would stay encouraged and that this is the last thing they need! We truly appreciate all of your support.
