weekly update 8/13/08

This week in the life of Jeff and Heather.

VISA STATUS

Sitting in starbucks waiting for immigration to finish our visa extensions, that's where I am this week.  Once we get our visas extended we will be going to the SEC to pic up our approved corporation paperwork.  Please keep praying for our missionary visa application.  We just found out that some of the paperwork that we had people send to us has to go back to he states and be "authenticated" by the Philippine Consulate before it can be used here.  This means we will have to send it back and get somebody to take them to a consulate then send them back to us.  Not the end of the world but time consuming.   

BABY STATUS

This week we had a doctor’s apt. for Heather and the baby, and with 4 months till the expected delivery everybody seems happy and healthy.  We praise God for this. 

LANGUAGE SCHOOL STATUS

Hard and slow seems to be the only description, but God's grace is sufficient.  In fact I'll use one of my new Tagalog words His grace is "sobra"  (more than enough).  We just have to keep leaning on His sobra grace and keep working at it and trust God will be sure we know what we need to know to do whatever He wants us to do. 

Please keep praying for our visas, the baby, and our language school.
