What a week...

For those of you, including ourselves, who thought our visa process was basically ended and done...well think again. It seems everyday this week we have found out something, or maybe couldn't find out something, regarding our visa process. Yes, the Ecuadorian Consulate accepted our application last week, but we don't have the actual documents in hand yet. That said, we have been asked to bring in more paperwork this week that is unsubstanciated (SP?) and basically stupid, if I may say so myself. In other words, could you all continue to pray for us in this process. Also, the certification of our shipment from Colorado to Ecuador has proved to be nothing short of a challenge as well. It seems for every person we talk to, we get at least that many answers on what we need to do, and when we talk to them the following day, it has changed again. Anyway, this has really worn us out this week, on top of trying to finish school and do well and continue to apply ourselves. We really feel like the enemy is attacking us and trying to discourage us and ultimately damper what we are going to be doing in the jungle. From putting various news items together from around South American jungles, the enemy definetly does not want to give that ground up. There is a LOT of opposition in its various forms throughout all of South America right now for work in the jungle. If something so simple as a visa can be delayed or even denied, that prevents change and life from being brought to the far reaches of the earth. Continue to pray for this as well, that the strongholds will be brought down by the power of Jesus!!!
