Visas Granted!

At last, a result! I have just heard from the SIM office that the Angolan Embassy has granted visas for Tom and I. They're being sent by special delivery tonight to the SIM headquarters and, assuming that all the boxes have been ticked in the right places and stamps placed in my nice clean passport, they'll wing their way to me after that. It has been at times a difficult and frustrating few days, and I don't know what reason(s) God has had for the wait -- perhaps I will find out soon. Thank you so much for all your prayers and support: I feel we will need it all the more as the real adventure begins!
