Visa Obstacle Course Completed!

Great news! Your prayers were heard. Last week, I was able to get my visa in Zimbabwe without any problems despite my expired police clearance. Moreover, I was also able to get my long-term visa (aka: DIRI) in only two days once I got back to Mozambique. One of the reasons I was able to get these papers completed in record time... is Manuel. Manuel is a Mozambican friend who has been helping me with the visa process. His connections, experience, and insights have saved me much time and stress. What a blessing to have such a friend! My directors assure me that visas NEVER come together this quickly; and I believe them. It is just more confirmation that Im in the right spot and that God is making my paths straight, as promised! What an extraordinary God we serve! Thank you so much for praying!
. my friend Manuel,

PRAISE & PRAYER

VISAS COMPLETE
I dont have to worry about visas for another year! Oh! What a blessing! Thanks so much for praying!

SCHOOL DAYS
My intensive Portuguese language classes began this week. I love learning!

VEHICLE NEEDS
Im still without a vehicle. Everywhere I turn, I find cars that are not sturdy enough... or that are out of my price range. Please pray for Gods best and for patience while I continue the search. Thanks!

School has started!

After spending two (frustrating) years in Sudan speaking to patients through translators, I asked God to help me not make the same mistake the next time I went to the field. --He has answered that prayer. When I got the call to come to Mozambique, I was thrilled to find a school not far from Maforga where I might study not only Portuguese (the national language), but also Chetewe (the regional dialect). It took some time to organize a place for me to stay in the city and to haggle with the school fees, but Im happy to say that it has finally begun. --Whoohoo! School is in session!

DEPT. of HEALTH
After much prayer this month, my director and I will be going to meet with the dept. of health on this week. Please, please pray for lasting favor, open doors, and welcoming hearts. Quite a lot depends on this meeting.

STAFFING STUFF
Resumes are coming in for the clinic, but as of yet none of them are suitable. Please pray for the right nurse(s) to apply and for wisdom in hiring them. Thanks!
