Dear Friends and Family,
 
I just thought that I would update you on what is going on here concerning my visa process so that you could be praying for me.  Before I do that I just want to thank God for the awesome service that we had at church this evening.  Again we had new people, and the people were hungry for what God had for them.  The altar service lasted for an hour and a half.  Nobody left early.  Everyone came forward for prayer, and were excited about what the Lord had for them.  What a blessing!  If this is why God has been holding up my visa then it is well worth it!  There were testimonies of what God has been doing in the last week, and it is an encouragement to everyone to hear what God is doing in the lives of the new believers.
 
So far as my visa process... I went for my interview on Thursday, and it went very well.  As a matter of fact the interviewer asked me to call him later to meet with him for coffee, and that he would take me to the Bulgarian history museum there in Gabrovo.  The interview was much more casual than I expected, and it was actually enjoyable.  At the end of the interview we went back to the front desk where they told me to come back again this Friday.  So that is what I will do.  The bible tells us "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength" so I believe that God is strengthening me through this process.  Even the Bulgarians are surprised how long this is taking!  God has a purpose, and I trust Him to get me home at the proper time.
