Yesterday we went into the visa office and overall it went well. They can't issue the work visa there, so it was sent off for "inspection" I guess you could say to another office. It's kind of a complicated situation, because they want Paul to be making 650 euro more than our current rent because we are married and without children. I don't really understand the logic behind it but this is the way it is. They also told us yesterday that maybe they would allow Paul to have a work visa and me to be on the missionary visa. Like I said it's very complicated, but the good news is that the company that Paul is working for has a very good relationship with the customs office. Also, they gave us another 3 month extension!
So that's the situation. Please be praying for us. Pray that whoever reviews the file would just allow the work visa to be processed through. We really feel that this job would be a huge blessing, not only financially but in connecting and building relationships with people there. We are trusting the Lord to work everything out according to His will. We know that He is in control and that He will take care of us either way. If we are not issued the work visa then we would both happily receive the missionary visa. So either way we can legally stay here, which is the goal! Thank you for your prayers...we really appreciate it!
Shalom
