On the Up Side

Today is April 15th. Everyone refers to it as "tax day", but for us, it was the target date to have all of our documents & visa applications on their way to the Czech embassy.

-We still haven't received our background checks from Russia.

-We don't have the apostilled copy of our marriage license.

-The letters from the bank don't have the words "ATM" or "wire transfer" anywhere in the documentation, so we must have them redone.

Obviously, we won't be putting our applications in the mail today. It's disappointing, but it doesn't deter us from pushing forward in our efforts to return to the field.

On the up side, our support is slowly but steadily increasing. We're blessed by every pledge, every donation. At last tally, we're now at 43%.

Only 57% still to go.
