I'm am one bit closer to Brazil and it is starting to get really exciting and before I start this blog properly I would like to send out a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported me financially up to this point. My goals for how much I want to raise have been smashed because of your generous provision .
I cannot thank you enough.
At this stage in my journey I would like to ask for an extra bit of prayer. I am currently moving through the visa process, which has proven to be more difficult than I first anticipated.
On Monday of this week I traveled to London to the Brazilian consulate with what I thought was all the required documents . Unfortunately I had not brought enough information and had not prepared enough and was told to attain the correct documentation and come back and apply again.
As you can assume this was a rather big let down (especially as i had to wake up at 3am that day to get to the consulate and spent the guts of £200 getting there) but due to the help of my contacts in Brazil and a handful of other people I am slowly getting there.
This looks like it will take a little bit longer than I had expected as I had been hoping to go out on the 17th of August (as the training starts on the 20th) but I know I will arrive in God's timing.
Please just pray that God would have his hand on the whole process and that I would rely on him to help me with it.
There are a lot of different little things that need sorted so pray that he will control all the little things
Pray for patience as I wait the different things involved (there is not an available appointment for visa application until 20th of August)
Thank you so much for your continued support through this time of preparation. I really cannot express how much I appreciate you prayers.
Muito Obrigado!
Mark
