Praying for our visas


The month of April is slowly fading away and we are hopeful it will take the glimpes of random snowfall with it. The month of May will mark six months in our new home and also the end of our visa! We have the renewal application submitted and are now waiting for word of it's approval. We went to the office today and they informed us that it is still being processed. If you don't mind making this request for a renewed visa as part of your daily prayer we would greatly appreciate it!
What six months looks like:
We can speak in general Bulgarian conversation as long as it stays in present tense!
We know what taxis to take and which ones to avoid.
We know how to properly order something from a waiteress but that doesn't mean we know what we're ordering all the time!
We have routine! Our days have an agenda and we longer feel lost.
We have two wonderful language teachers and we are improving each class.
We still LOVE the zoo and expect something crazy from the animals each time we visit.
We are very ready for the spring!
We don't struggle with illness as much.
Jenn can cook confidently in her new culture but is always looking to learn more.
We have travelled around Bulgaria and are beginning to see glimpses of God's direction for us.
We have been on several dates (we didn't know how to go on dates or who would watch our kids when we first arrived)
We no longer hear dogs barking at night.
The boys can walk longer distances now and public transportation is beginning to feel normal.

Thank you for your prayers and for covering us these last six months with LOVE and support! We love you all so much and hope you can hear the "THANK YOU" our hearts scream out!
