E-Day [part ii]

[From the Thai Ministry of Education]

Just a quick update on our "Embassy visit" situation (for those of you who have asked!). When Claire and I went to the Embassy last week they told us we needed two more items: a letter from the Thai Ministry of Education (which John Lapos promptly provided us with) and another background check. The Embassy said the background check could take 4-8 weeks, and the Virginia State Police said 2-4 weeks. We were hoping for two weeks... But great news!

Our background checks were both in our respective mailboxes yesterday afternoon. That's less than one week. Praise God! I know that many of you have been praying specifically about this, thank you. We are trying to schedule another trip to D.C. next week to take care of getting our visa. So, expect a [part iii] sometime next week!
