The Pink Slip for Which We Have Been Waiting

This time of year (or any time) the term "pink slip" can cause a man to pause in his tracks. Rarely is the term a cause for joy. But, this pink slip doesn't concern our jobs. This pink slip is our appointment for Sophia's visa. We got confirmation today that our appointment is scheduled for January 6th. We are planning to leave the Monday before Christmas and return January 9th. We appreciate all your prayers, and ask you to continue to pray for safe travel, a joyous reunion, and a smooth appointment.
