It has arrived!

Ever since Aaron sent the papers via fedex on Friday, I have been "tracking" down that thing everyday. Okay, so maybe more like 3-4 times a day? It said it was in "POYLE GB" yesterday. This got me confused. Did GB stand for Guinea Bissau in Africa? It was a mystery, until I googled it and pretty much found out that GB stands for Great Britain. I was kind of disappointed because if it meant Guinea Bissau than at least it was in Africa, right?
Anyway, I looked one more time this evening and lo and behold. . . . the package, ARRIVED!!

So, tomorrow I head to Kampala to the Embassy once again and pray that the consular will begin processing Adam's Visa and maybe, just maybe, even get it into my hands tomorrow. I am very aware that the last part of that sentence is a long shot--I mean, I burst into tears before the nice man last time and he didn't even flinch (not his fault, I'm sure he must get a lot of people pleading their cases which probably takes on many forms)--I am just not expecting him to pull strings or anything. Processing a visa usually takes about 24 hours, my flight leaves Friday morning, so I am preparing for another weekend here in Uganda.
If I had to stay, it really wouldn't be the worst thing at all. I am definitely learning to have peace about whatever happens, not stress, and truly find joy in the process knowing full well that God knows EXACTLY when I'm leaving.
If I stay through Saturday, I would even be able to attend a traditional Ugandan wedding ceremony which would be neat. Our missionary friends, the Hurleys, are helping with this wedding and everyone is running around trying to get all the last minute details taken care of. One of the girls who lives here is the one getting married--everyone is very excited and it's been fun to watch and help in any way I can.

Adam has been doing really well staying with me here in Mukono. Ever since we began working on hugs, he runs to me arms spread out saying, "squeeze!" It's so cute. Even Katie the dog doesn't scare him anymore. She is harmless and easy going and will probably miss Adam very much when he leaves, seeing that he provides her with many snacks throughout the day falling from his lap.

I'm off to bed. Kampala tomorrow!
