30 days and counting...

As of today, November 9, we have 30 days to go before our departure to Vanuatu. Tickets are purchased, housing is arranged.

This coming week we are visiting the police station for Australian law enforcement clearances, and the doctors office for medical clearances. All this is paperwork needed for our resident visa applications. The Vanuatu immigration department has cracked down over the last year and even deported some missionaries, so we are being careful to 'have all our ducks in a row', so to speak. We appreciate those of you who are praying with us about this matter.

This weekend, amongst the essays and other homework, we started going through our belongings to decide what goes and what stays. We are being allowed half the baggage that we came here with, anything over that we have to pay extra (plus duty). So we are being very selective, going through every item of clothing, and every piece of paper, to pare down to the essentials.

We'll stay in touch!
