Pizza Wednesday with a kick

Today was rather uneventful.  We spent the morning with Sheresa's family.  Breakfast and all.  We did our norm, eat, sleep and pool.  We are now waiting for our pizza that we ordered.  We have changed Friday pizza to Wednesday pizza, because Sheresa and company are scheduled to leave the country tomorrow.  So we party with them one last night.  

Part of us leaves tomorrow.  We have grown to be a little family in our little compound.  We will be sad, but happy that they are going home to their family.  We are so happy, as this has been a long time coming.  (5 weeks for Sheresa)  

Things are well here.  Despite having malaria, Josee is doing well.  Natalie continues to do well, with no signs of malaria.  They are bonding well.  In fact we scared the heck out of them when we both walked out of the front gate to look at a house fire down the street.  They both started running around and screaming thinking that we had left them.  Poor kids, your parents are so bored that a house fire is worth leaving you.  Anyway, they are bonding and doing really well.  

So, I am saving the great news for last.  They started our investigation today.  They made one phone call today and they have one more to make.  We could possibly have our visas by Friday.  This would truly be a miracle.  This is a hard one to cling to, but I know it is possible.  This is the prayer request for today.  If this is possible, we can begin the DRC exit visas on Monday.  That would allow us to get out by Friday for sure.  Again another prayer request.  

Please pray that the investigation is quick and that they need no clarification.  They have one more phone call tomorrow and then it moves forward (at least as far as we know).  Tonight, life feels great despite not having any of our stuff yet.  I look forward to a day when I don't have to blog every night to keep people up to date with our lives.
