Visa Delay

Dear all,

A Happy New Year to all my readers and thank you for allowing your thoughts to rest on this text for a few moments.

Frustrating news from the embassy today. Visa-dependent, we had hoped to depart from this fair land a week from now, Tuesday January 10th. However, today I've heard that visa applications will not be considered until the 9th, and would not be collectible until at least the 12th. Bearing in mind that I filled in my application form at the end of November, this is not the happiest situation!

Please pray for safe travel for all those GAPers who have been able to head off. I will be spending tomorrow at Heathrow Airport seeing the last of those guys off.

Thank you for all your prayers and support; we know that it is all in God's hands.
David

PS: If you are into online interaction, or even if you aren't, you'll notice a comments link just below this post, where you can click and leave messages for me (others will be able to read these). The other symbol allows you to email this item of news to somebody else, and there may even be a way to subscribe so that the website will email you when I put new prayer requests on here (we will do that already for the monthly "A Year In" letters) ... I'll let you know if I work it out!
