Just a quick update on the visa situation…

I have mine! My passport that I left at the Thai consulate arrived in the mail yesterday, with a real-live, official visa stamp inside. I’m still a little incredulous that it actually worked. When I arrived at the small consulate office in Portland there was no one waiting to be helped and I just walked up to the woman who looked to be a receptionist and she okayed my paperwork within five minutes. No mention of an additional letter from the Thai government at all. It’s like one consulate doesn’t know what the others are doing. So, next I will take Jen’s application in for her and I expect it will be the same easy process.

So praise God! He is a good provider and takes care of all the details when he calls someone into his work. Thank you all for your prayers. I will probably leave for Bangkok in late September or early October. I’ll keep you posted!
