Smooth Sailing

Great experience at the US Embassy today. It was fast and efficient and it is done. Looks like we can pick up our visa anytime on Friday or after in Kampala. Winding down here trying to check off the things that we need to do personally and for work. Tomorrow a.m. Jimmy and the boys will be traveling to the Kenya border to visit some babies homes and will then visit Sippi Falls.

US Visa Interview

Today at 2:00 p.m. we go for our visa interview at the US Embassy. This is where we apply for a visa for Zeke to enter the United States and to be classified as an immediate relative. Sometimes this goes great. Other times it can be tricky if the case looks in any way that it is not on the up and up or has been handled with shady people. As far as we know, we have everything in order, but you never know what you don't know. Therefore, please pray that this interview goes well and we are able to pick up his visa on Friday.
