Problems with my visa…

I know I keep promising to post here more, but as you can see…that hasn’t been happening so much.  But I’m back in Bolivia in two and a half weeks, so no doubt there will be more things to say then. 

I did want to ask you to pray about something though.  I’m having problems with my passport and visa (my permanent residency).  I had to FedEx my passport back down to Bolivia when I got home to Canada, so my lawyer could finish the process for my visa.  Unfortunately, there were complications and now it looks like I may lose my visa and have to start the process all over again.  At least he has my passport back (for awhile Immigration had siezed it and we weren’t sure I’d even get it back in time for my trip back south).  My lawyer has asked for an extension (or something) to finish the process, and Immigration is considering that request.

So please pray that the give me that extension.  Otherwise I have to start the process over again, and I’ll lose the $1000 US I already had to pay.  That would be grumpy to say the least.  I really don’t have that kind of money.

I spoke with the guys last night.  It was the first time in awhile.  It was good to hear their voices.  They tell me they’re excited that I’m coming back.  =)  It’s always hard to leave home, but I’m getting excited too.  I have three young guys from Saskatoon coming back with me as well, to work with us for a couple of weeks, so that’ll be fun too.

Anyhow, thanks for praying.  I’ll let you know what happens as soon as I know!

Enjoy the summer weather we’re FINALLY having…two weeks before I leave…
