Waiting

Last week we heard that the people at the Naturalization Office in the UK are taking 6-8 weeks just to get the new mail. So that leaves us waiting .... again.

This waiting is getting hard. All around we are hearing of others from our class at WEC who are leaving for their fields. One family has arrived in Texas ready to start language school on Monday, another has been in Spain for several weeks, yet another has a date to leave for Asia in the beginning of November. One family didn't even know where they were going when we left Pennsylvania, but this week end are travelling half way around the world to begin their service as missionaries. But still we wait.

Please, don't misunderstand me, we are enjoying the time we have here with friends, but being in limbo is hard. We know the Lord is able to bring about our paperwork quickly so we could be leaving in a couple of months or we could be here for another 8 months. It all depends on the paperwork, and yes, ultimately the Lord's timing.
