Visa, con't

I feel even more thankful for my visa this week!

One of our staff went to Rome for Spring Break. His mission agency isn't able to help him get a visa, so he had been leaving the country every 90 days to get a new 'tourist visa' (what you get as an American almost any time you enter a country--90 days without needing to apply for an 'official visa').

On his way out of the country, he was told that because he has been in Romania for more than 6 months on a 'tourist visa' (which is technically not the way things should work), he could not return for 6 months. His passport was stamped with the date that he could reenter Romania.

I'm thankful that at least for the next year I don't have to worry about that happening. We're still praying for a number of other people who are in the process of obtaining visas.
