Hello once again! Recently we sent out our latest prayer letter, but I wanted to add a little to it for those who venture to look at our blog.
A more detailed update on our visa application: We sent away our paperwork to our lawyer to take a look at our progress. Right now we have hit a road block with the forms either from our lack of understanding the questions or that the information needed is about those applying on our behalf for the visa. Also, we have scheduled another immigration physical for the first day of June. Have you ever heard the phrase "live and learn"? Well, we have learned that the best way to do the physicals is by e-filing, and the best time to do the physicals is after your visa application has been lodged with the immigration office. So, Lord willing, our visa application will be in the hands of the Australian immigration office by early June.
The Lord has allowed us to be active in serving at our sending church and also at other supporting churches. This weekend we will be in Boonville, Indiana to fill pulpit at a supporting church. It is great to be involved in serving the Lord even though our plans for Australia have been put on hold.
Please pray that the Lord would work in the heart of our lawyer and that we would hear from him soon about the forms that we emailed him. Pray also that the Lord would stir him to action so that our visa application would be prepared and lodged by the time we have our immigration physicals on June 1st. God is so good to us, and it is encouraging to us that you are reading this right now. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!
In Christ,
Mark and family
