We realize that we have not been blogging very much recently. The reason for that has been because we have been very, very busy this summer so far. Far busier than we could have imagined since so many groups canceled their summer visits!
Most of our days start at 8:00 AM and end around 8:00 PM. Occasionally we work until 10 or later. Wes has been doing a lot of office work – fundraising, communications, preparing for the coming groups. I have been working long days at the community center and helping Wes with office work when I can.
We have also recently been hit with a whole host of paper work – our appointment to apply for a visa to move to Scotland is tomorrow morning. My visa to be in Mexico expired today and we have been trying to get my later departure date approved. It has all been more demanding and tiring that we expected.
So, we continue to ask for your prayers – strength, fortitude, endurance, joy, and ability to trust the Lord with many worries – these are all things to be praying for. Thanks! We’ll try to post more again soon.

We understand your busyness and we are praying for grace for you during this time. We are concerned about your visa. Please email us as soon as you have your later departure date approved and until then…you are MUCH in our prayers!

Thank you for your prayers! After our third visit to the migration office, it looks like we finally have an idea of how to extend Steph’s tourist visa, which we hope to get done sometime next week.

I will definitely be praying for you guys. I can totally understand the visa troubles. Not fun! It’s hard to believe that your year is almost up and you’ll be moving to Scotland soon!
