Visa/Passport Issue Update

Well, friends,  I just got off the phone with Nancy at the Liberian Embassy in Washington.  She told me that they had NOT mailed the visa yesterday as promised because she feared that I had not sent enough postage.  (I had not known when making application that I would be sending them my actual passport.)  She suggested I contact Fed Ex to collect it.  She said she had the documents right there with her.

We now have a confirmation number  from Fed Ex.  They'll be at the Embassy by 3 PM EST today and will have it to me by tomorrow morning.   My collection of unusual stories relating to adventures in Africa continue.  The other day, I got to tell a missionary couple friend of ours about the time I found Barry's cell phone he'd left in an airplane several days later when I flew.  The plane I was supposed to be on, was not the one in which the cell phone was on, but a last minute plane switch changed that.  Oh, the story's much more interesting that the "bones" I've just told you. (or so my friends told me)  But it's an example of fun, stretching and interesting adventures in travel the past 15 years to Africa.

I'm growing through Africa even as I anticipate being there.  I do desire that my life demonstrates a woman who trusts in God and believes that a sovereign God really is caring for me.  I'm looking forward to this trip.  It looks like I really will be leaving in 3 days.  Surely, the next time I post, you will be reading about the sights and sounds of a place new to most of us.

Thank you for joining me!  Thank you for your support!  Thank you for your prayers!
