paz.... paciencia...

calmer about visa situation now :)
not necessarily because there is any indication it will all work out well, though! hehe
first, i talked to my mamita, who can always relax me :)
second, yesterday afternoon patrik and i went to go meet with mrs. ndegwa, a counsellor from kenya, to tell her the news of our leaving and ask her for advice (and yes, managed to vent a little about the trip to tel aviv too...) ~ it was such a nice conversation, she was so loving and had all these wonderful stories and advice and was just so sure of God's hand in all of this that we left her office with such a burden lifted off our shoulders, so much lighter, and no longer anxious and tense... we still have a lot to do and a lot to take care of, but whatever happens, it will be ok.
third, from the meeting we went to the shrines (how i'll miss the shrines...)
fourth, we spoke with patrik's parents last night, and they were also so loving and joyful that it was hard not to be smile too... :)

burocracia is burocracia, and we just have to take a few more steps and it should all be ok...

hmmm... just reread my post and realized that making a detailed list of why i am calmer actually indicates that... perhaps not completely in an "oooohmmmmm" state yet, but hopefully will be there soon! ;)

Don't worry about how you sound! We all love to hear your thoughts and share your experiences because it helps all of us keep calmer just to know what's happening! When details start to get to you, just recall all the love and support and prayers and protection and guidance that surrounds you, both from this world and the Abha Kingdom! Love, Mommy
