It's here!

What is here that has me all excited, you ask? The NGO recommendation letter, that's what! For all of you that have been praying for this 'hurdle' to be jumped - thanks! And for the rest of you...let us praise the Lord together and then keep praying! In case you are not sure what the significance is, this letter is one of the requirements for my work permit package.

Here you see Paul - my buddy in the Business Development Services Dept where I work at Missions of Hope - he is holding the letter. I think he is as happy as I am...what do you think?
Okay here is a photo of the infamous letter that cost over a month of waiting and Kshs 2,000/ (which is about $25) Our friend Davis at immigration cannot figure out why they charged so much for a one page letter. What I find significant and hopefully you can see it, is the word "recommended" underlined and in bold!
Now for more waiting...(I am learning much patience here!)...Davis had told us that we should bring the letter directly to him so that he can personally handle the process of my work permit. I liked that idea and so did Paul! But - when Paul called Davis to give him the good news, guess what! Davis is on holiday...until the 19th of January (which is a good day since it is my brother's birthday, but still...)

So - now let us pray that when Davis returns and we rush that letter down to his office, that he will jump start the process and all will proceed smoothly and quickly!
