really

Our visas came today!!

It's really happening.


Thank you Jesus!!!

Finally!

The visa applications are in the mail and en route to D.C.
I'm just praying that everything checks out and we get the visas back soon!

So, provided we get the visas taken care of in time,
we should be flying out of JFK on September 9th.
Our flight connects at Heathrow,
and me and Corey have adjusted our tickets to allow us 8 days in London.
We are planning on spending a few days with the lovely Cate Family,
and the rest of our time at a hostel in the heart of the city.
So if anyone has any suggestions for sightseeing on a budget,
feel free to share them!

After our little detour we'll be flying out of Heathrow on the 17th
and arriving in Lusaka on the 18th.
Then our African adventure begins!

The last big thing to take care of is the passport visas.
Right now we are waiting for our letter of invitation from our hosts, the lovely Tompkins Family.
The letters are en route to NJ, so as soon as we get them we can get things going. After we mail the visa applications it shouldn't be much more than a week before we get them back. After that it's smooth sailing.

Please pray for excessively fast postal service, and for even faster visa processing!


Twenty one days and counting!
