Alpha and I have pulled together a pile of paperwork, visited government offices, paid fees, prayed over mail couriers and submitted the last of Alpha's visa application!
The last few months have been filled with anxiety, unknowns, paperwork, phone calls, waiting, more paperwork, patience and oh, did I mention paperwork? We have done all that we can do, and now we are waiting, patience has become my best friend.
Alpha's application is in process and we should hear back mid May about his interview date at the embassy. We are praying that the wait for the interview is not too long. In some countries the wait can be 6+months!!! We have a family reunion in August and would love to be able to attend as Alpha has not met my family yet.
Please pray with us as we continue to wait on the Lord and the US Government.
You can also pray for me (Emily) as it has been almost 2 years since I have been home to the States and I am fairly homesick. The unknown is hard because we are hoping to go back soon, but we don't know when, so there is no date to look forward to or plan on or count down to.
Pray for Alpha as he prepares to leave his home and enter a new culture and country he has never been to. Pray that God touches both of us as individuals and as a couple in this waiting time.

Praying for everything to go quickly and smoothly!
