Update on the goings on, on the other side of the Equator

Hello all!!! I am sorry it has been a long time since I have blogged. It is hard when your only source of internet is at the house of another. I am thankful and greatful that I have access to the internet. (Thanks mom & dad)

So, to update you from the last post of mine that was dire and drear. Finally after 2 failed tries at registering our marriage, W & I signed the book on the third attempt and the wedding certificate is in our posession!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! We are now completely married and I have the paper to prove it. Yes-sir-ee bobby!!! There was a moment when I held my breath because the man that was reviewing the document made a very long pause over part of the document but then he went on and went to get the book we had to sign.

Now, with the marriage certificate in hand, I have gone to the Federal Police office and have made my official request to recieve my permanent visa. I now have a little protocol paper that says I get to be here until the information is posted that I am permanent and then I will get a new stamp in my passport. Yeah!!!! The semi-sad part of this is that I will probably get my permanent papers before my parents who are waiting for the same type of publication.

W & I are still settling into the house. Dad still has a handful of things to get fixed there. Otherwise it is a wonderful life this being married thing. W takes very good care of me and I am trying to do the same. Please pray for the many new ans about to be new-ly weds at our church. Our advesary, satan, is at work in a major way to mess up our lives. He is very present here and he is working hard. Some marriages are in crisis and others are having issues getting all the paperwork they need in order to get married and that is causing great stress. I am fighting for them in my prayers and it has brought a result of greater warfare in my life as well so keep us all in prayer please.

The weather here is turning hotter every day. It is so VERY hard for me to believe that it is December much less Christmas in a matter of days. (Yeah, my first Christmas as a wife. Woo Hoo! Yes mel-in God's time.) I did my Christmas shopping before I left the states so I brought it with me and not shopping adds to the unbelief that it is Christmas.

Well, let me send Christmas blessing and prayers over your New Year from my part of the planet. I love you all and miss you too. (You could write you know. ;7) ) May God's blessing and grace be abundant in your every day and may His mercy bring you through all that you encounter.

Love and hugs,
Mrs. Q.
