December 8, 2006
Thanks to those who sent notes yesterday saying you would be praying for us today as we tried to get visas for all four of us. Your notes were encouraging. And, thanks to all of you who offered your prayers on our behalf.
We were able to get the student visas for the whole family this morning. The only drawback is that rather than start counting the one year student visa from the day they were issued, they started counting the one year from the day we entered Thailand from Singapore on our ninety day ED visas back in September. So, these visas are only good for nine more months, until September 15, 2007. But, we are thankful for the nine months we now have.
We continue to wait for our long term missionary visas. A typical wait, from what we have heard, is close to two years. We submitted our paperwork for the missionary visas last August. We will be praying that the Lord would shorten the waiting time so that we have the missionary visas before our student visas expire in September. But, at lease we have an eight or nine month breather before we have to worry about it again! Thanks again to the many who have been praying about this.
Sincerely,
Duane Scott
