Still waiting!

Today was the day we were hoping to get news on our visas. No news!!!! I can even say if it will be this week. Poor Sheresa was hoping to hear something since her sister leaves Saturday. We were just hoping so we could get back ASAP. Anyway, we kind of feel like the Israelites waiting for the promise land. There is almost this since of aimless wandering here in the DRC. The cool thing is that the Israelites were eventually allowed into the promised land. Guess I know what that means for us. We were all looking for a miracle. We were all praying for a miracle. Personally, I believe there is one. We can't see it, nor do we know what is, but I believe something good has happened. Go ahead and call me naive, but I fully believe in a God who does thing underground sometimes. We may never see it, or even know about it, but it happens all the time. Honestly, we feel horrible for our comrades. We know they want to go home now. Not hearing for us was not a big blow, as we just turned our paperwork in last Tuesday. If it were not for the week of hospitals etc... we would not be here that long. We did top the evening off with a trip to a restaurant. It was okay. The stress of trying to reign in the girls all night kind of takes away from the joy of ever going out. Tomorrow we may do the bonobos adventure in the jungle. Depends on whether we can get a driver. Here are the prayer requests. Continued prayer for Sheresa and her visas. Prayer for Kate and Abby. Kate is beginning to find this tough. Prayer for a quick return of papers from the Congolese government. I'm signing off tonight as I am about to swallow a horse pill (anti-malaria) pill. For those looking at this, I have been posting small videos of the girls on Facebook. Look me up if you are not a friend. Ps. Wondering about Valerie, (Gracie, Karen, Gretchen, etc......). She is fine. Just worried about Sheresa and our daughters at home. I would let her blog, but we all know how sappy it gets..
