Tonight was our new weekly celebration of pizza and Primus. Okay, Sheresa and Amber had water. What were we celebrating? We were celebrating the commiseration of being in the DRC for a month or less with no visas. Actually, since we met Sheresa and Amber, this has been a weekly Friday night event. We were celebrating living. We were celebrating crying. We were celebrating families.
What we were not celebrating is visas. Sheresa did not get hers. Hopefully, it will come Monday. If so, then she will be leaving on Tueday or Wednesday. We are still waiting some a piece of paper from the US to come via internet before they can begin our investigation. Guess we are back to pony express or the telegraph.
It was a hard day, as Valerie was half expecting to hear something about both Sheresa's visa and ours. I told her that I thought there was no way ours would be close to done, but she had hope. I love the hope, but hate the crushing feeling when the hope fades. So, we wait. No so hard, except for having the kids we left behind. Oh, how we miss them. I wish they could be here, but they would be sooooo bored.
So what do we do now? We wait. We wait with patience. We wait with hope. We play. We pray. What else is there to do?
Thank you for the continued prayers. Thank you for the support.

So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how good is Primus? Love you so much!!! We wait with all of you as well and are so thankful to share life with you. You are all so very loved and treasured! We are praying and praying...
