Praise be to God!

Yesterday (Saturday 15 May) I received my Visa in the mail. When I looked more closely, though, I discovered that it only allows me to stay in Papua New Guinea until June 13 - well short of my planned departure date of July 29. So we immediately started praying and working on figuring out what needed to be done.

Today we received a reply, letting us know what needs to be done. Apparently things like this have happened before, and because I will be arriving before my Visa expires, I will be able to arrive, go to Immigration, and have the date on my Visa changed. So, praise be to God, everything is fine!

Please continue to be praying as I spend these next two weeks preparing to leave; I will be leaving home the morning of Sunday, May 30. Be praying that I not forget anything as I am preparing, and that it be a great trip, with the Lord's work being accomplished.
