PRAISE GOD!

Posted in General News at 1044 by SeismicMike

This morning, we received an email telling us that our Visa’s have been approved by the Korean government. This afternoon we are sending in our application and passports to the Korean Consulate in Chicago to have our visa’s attached to our passports.

Please pray that this process will go quickly. We’ve heard horror stories, but we also talked to a couple yesterday who said that when they sent theirs in, they mailed them on a Monday and had them back by the next Thursday. This is all up to God’s Sovereignty.

This is the final major hoop (at least that we can see right now) that we need to get through in order to make it to Korea. Thank you all for your prayers

Wedding and More

Hello all. Welcome to those who are visiting for the first time. You can comment below without needing to register or anything. We would love to hear from you. Words of encouragement and prayer are always welcome.

A major prayer request has come up since I last posted, and it also was answered earlier this evening! For those of you who do not know, Brandy (my beautiful green Chrystler Town & Country) went home to be with the car gods a week and a half ago. Thus making our transportation situation very scary and hectic and until four hours ago we had no idea whatsoever how were were going to make PFO. However, the Lord is awesome. We announced this prayer request in church this evening and as soon as we sat down Ray Townsend leaned over to me and said (paraphrase), “We have a car and since we’re going to Vietnam to pick up our newly adopted child the exact same dates that you are going to PFO, we would be willing to let you use our car.” So… yeah… God is awesome.

Our current huge prayer request is that the Visa process will work in time.

Here are some pictures from the wedding. Keep in mind these are informal pictures from a friend of Mom and Dad Anzalone, so they are not professional or exhaustive. We still haven’t received the real ones yet. Hopefully when we do, we’ll post them online somewhere and give you a list of links.
