Living permits

I write again from the car, outside the home of friends. We have hope that the internet will be in our home today. Hopefully it works!

This morning we went to a public clinic had our blood drawn for HIV tests & blood type and x-rays for TB. This is all for our living permits in the country.

Please keep this as a matter of important prayer. The internet is one thing and it isn't major, but Living permits are major. We need them to stay in the country. There is one man that has the power to grant them or deny them. If they are denied, we must leave the country the 1st of November. But we are believing this will not happen. We need these for our family AND for Shauna, our teacher.

Yesterday we heard that the permits of 2 young women with another mission group were denied. The man who grants them said the quota is filled. But in reality there is no quota. He makes that up. So pray that this does not happen for us.

Pray that the paperwork we brought with us is correct and needed and that they won't come up with some other paperwork that we need to bring them.

Pray that the permits are granted quickly in the next few weeks and this stress can be done.

Thanks for your continued prayer.
