Visa Problem

Its what comes from being a foreigner – visas. Sometimes everything goes smoothly and sometimes not. We had the opportunity to add a visa story to our collection today when we received a call from our son Isaac.

We had left him to the bus station early in the morning to take the two hour trip to Dublin airport to fly back to the States after his Christmas break.  You can imagine our surprise to get a phone call at lunch time to say he was back in Belfast.  His visa was not in order and was not allowed to travel.  So, we need to go to the US Consulate and see about rectifying the problem.

Pray with us that he would get the issue fixed ASAP so he doesn’t miss too many days college.  Thank the Lord with us for another reminder of what it is to be a foreigner and that, in reality, we are strangers and sojourners on this earth with our citizenship in heaven.  Just one of the perks of missionary work.
