Visa Issues

In January I submitted my passport and paperwork in order to receive a 2 year visa. However, 4 months later, I still don't have one. It appears that the visa laws changed in January and the Friends church must now have all the paperwork done that officially registers them with the government before the government will process any visas for them. The church has been in the process of getting this paperwork for several years. Perhaps the process is slowed because they are not a big or rich denomination and they refuse to bribe anyone. Anyhow, I really hope that I can get my visa in the next couple months as I would like to leave the country this summer to go to Burundi with Brad, Michelle and their parents and to visit a friend in Tanzania who is working with the Peace Corps.
