Nathan and I are hoping everything has been going well for you in the first month of this New Year!
The latest update from our visa runner came today telling us the reason for the hold up in us getting our visas since the actual approval. Unfortunately one of our authorization letters was lost in the mail coming back from Brazil. The consulate realized the mistake and had a new one sent which arrived on this last Friday. The visa need ten business days to process and after receiving the remainder of our documentation from our visa runner, it looks as though they will be approved Monday Feb. 8th and mailed on Tuesday Feb. 9th. Please be in prayer for the situation since we have had so many difficulties.
We will certainly be keeping you all posted as we hear more information and eventually make our way to Brazil! Thank you all for your continued prayers! God Bless!
Jon Nelson and Nathan Olson
"He led you through the vast and dreadful desert, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock. He gave you manna to eat in the desert, something your fathers had never known, to humble and to test you so that in the end it might go well with you." - Deuteronomy 8:15-16
