Work Visas Approved!

Hey Friends! Well after a much longer wait than we anticipated...our work visas have been approved!!! Yay!! The PNG government representatives have now applied for our PNG entry visas on our behalf. So in about 2 weeks I will be sending a boat-load of paperwork (and our passports) to the PNG embassy in Ottawa, where our entry visas will be stamped into our passports and sent back to us. At that time we are free to book our plane tickets! Wow eh?
Although it seems like things could move quickly now, there are some things that need to get done first. For example, our house needs to sell.
This saturday we are excited to have a group of guys from our church coming over to work in the basement. Clinton has aspirations of getting the basement completed this weekend. Please pray with us to that end. After that we will put our house up for sale and will need lots of prayer to see it sell very quickly!
Once our house sells, we then need to focus on raising our monthly support for our time in PNG. We're not 100% sure about how much that will be though we have a rough estimate of about $6000 per month. However, we've been told that although that amount is ideal, we can (and probably will have to) survive on less.
We're just so excited at this point that things are moving forward. Please continue to pray for us as we go through this time.
We're also busy getting our immunizations, x-rays, and other bloodwork completed.
Thanks for your prayers!
Blessings, Rolanda (for Clinton, Tayah, Aowyn & Rorik)
