Praying Friends,
Since my last post, the Lord has been ironing out some of the problems that we have had.  The gentleman that I spoke with from Washington DC sent me an email with two links.  One link was a formal enquiry form, the other was a form to remove my legal assistance from my application.  I have waited on the enquiry form because of the information that the gentleman told me about the length of time it is taking these visas to be approved.  The other form I have been praying about.  Should I remove my legal assistance all together.
For those who may not know we have had some problems recently with our lawyer leaving the company and going elsewhere.  The company had not dealt with the departure and the lawyers assistant was of no help when it came to information.  Recently I have sent many emails to the legal office with no response until yesterday.  There is now another person assigned to our file there at the legal office, and this new individual emailed me.  She said that our lawyer that left will still be supervising our application and that as of right now they have not received any questions from immigration about our application.  She said that any questions that may come in will be directed to Andrew, our lawyer that left, and he would still be helping.
This may not sound like much, but it is a big relief for me.  At one point I had three different options of what to do with my legal assistance on our application and I really did not know which one was best.  I prayed that God would solve this issue, and He has.  God is so good!
Now we still wait to hear from the Australian immigration office.  Please pray with us that we would be approved for our visas before Christmas so that we could leave in January of next year.  Thank you so much for your prayer support, may God bless you.

In Christ,
