There have been many snags with my visa, but God has been faithful, and each one has been overcome in time. It has worked out for me to be able to complete my visa paperwork in Dallas, and it has worked out that I don't need the medical form, which it would have taken me so long to obtain (I called the Dallas office and asked to make sure I really did need it, and it turned out that I didn't since I had an American passport and I had never been to a third world country), also there was part of my paperwork that was supposed to arrive to me by mail on wednesday so I could leave thursday and complete my visa at the Dallas office friday, but the papers did not arrive when I had expected; I didn't know where they were, but they turned up saturday (yesterday) and today (sunday) I am on my way to Dallas.

And so I am on my way to Dallas, my journey begins, and it is thrilling to be on the move once more with God going before me and the loving support of so many friends behind me.

Praise God for being so faithful and bringing me and blessing through this passed week during all my preparations to leave Searcy.

There is so much more to tell about this passed week, but time is short and I must hit the highway and so I shall leave it here.
