We are still waiting here for our visas to come in. They should come in anywhere between now and November (we're hoping for now :) ), and we're doing everything we can to be ready to leave whenever they come. We're kind of in limbo, finishing up our time here in the US and simply waiting. It's a strange time, yet God has been so faithful to us during it. We have seen Him work in so many ways, and we are able to spend some last times with friends and family for the year. Waiting is the name of the game, however. God has truly tested our patience, and hopefully it has grown. I will say that we look forward to being able to share with you the day we receive our visas! What a wonderful day that will be!
Another great item of news is that we are at 100% of our one-time expenses and at 95% of our pledged monthly support! What that breaks down into is about $2,000 cash or $175/month left to raise! God has blessed us so much with providing for our needs for the year, and we give Him the credit for it. It certainly wasn't us--I know that sounds cheesy, but it is so true.
Please pray with us that our visas would come in soon. We hope to arrive in Spain by October 4th. We hope to attend Spanish language and culture classes at a University in the town in which we'll be staying. If we don't make it by that date, we will either have to wait until January to take the next semester of classes or find another form of classes. Obviously God knows the best timing, and we trust that He knows exactly where our visas are and when they will come in. Please pray both for the expediency of our visas and for trust in the sovereign timing of our Lord. Thanks so much for being a part of this with us!
Here's a picture of the University we hope to attend--Universidad de Alcalá
