A long time coming!

Andrea and I have been married for almost three years now and while she has talked extensively to my family in America online, she has yet to meet them in person. All that is about to change! Today after months of preparation and weeks of intense gathering of documents and research Andrea finely had her interview at the US Embassy in Manila. She applied for a 6 month tourist visa and the tourist visa is possibly the hardest for a Filipino to attain. It has about an 80% decline rate. So to say we were nervous would be putting it mildly. However, even in our nervous and somewhat worried state we knew that our God was bigger than any obstacle that might come in our way. So after much prayer, not only by us but by my family in America, our entire Filipino family Pastor Felix, Pastor Gerry,Pastor Greg, the time finely came. I am pleased to say that God beat the odds for us and Andrea was approved for her visa!! We plan to leave this September! Thank you Jesus!!!
