The best thing we can tell you about our visas is that it’s STILL “hurry up and wait.” We’ve been blessed to recently receive much more information on our visa process, so that gives us a better perspective on what’s going on in Brazil. However, there’s nothing yet to share, since there are still no definite answers. Hopefully we’ll be able to give you some type of new information sometime next week (Jan. 21-25).
Going through the pain of not knowing whether or not we’re going to pick up tomorrow and fly down to Brazil, or we’re going to be waiting for 3 or 4 more months, has been challenging. We have spent much time in prayer and conversation over what to think about our time of uncertainty. We figure that there will probably be more times like this in our lives. The main thing we’ve struggled with is not just the thought of not being able to go to Brazil when we want to, but not knowing ANY time schedule. If we need to wait a few more months, we’ve wanted to have some type of idea. If we’re going to be leaving in 2 weeks, we’ve wanted to have a clue about that. It’s just out of our hands (it’s always been in God’s hands anyway). For North Americans, this is a bit of a challenge (we want everything on our time and as we’ve planned it) - but we have to keep in mind that we’re moving to SOUTH America (a different pace of doing things).
Yes, our pace of life will be changing soon - not to mention by becoming parents! By our first furlough (4 years from now), we’ll be very different people - hopefully for the good, and transformed more into God’s image.
