The first thing we did today was pickup our lawyer, Valerie and go to the passport office to apply, "pressure." After some phone calls to higher-ups and getting nowhere our lawyer was ready to give up for the day and come back tomorrow. Dale wasn't ready to do so and did some good old fashioned Canadian begging. That eventually got us an appointment with someone important in the afternoon. We returned, the appointment took place. Our case was pleaded showing our bookings for the flight home and explaining we needed to get the kids passports so we could do the final steps in getting visas issued. In the end we need to come back tomorrow. Uuuugh! So we will do so, bring the children, sit, wait and pray. As soon as we get those Golden Tickets we can actually submit the numbers to Nairobi and make plans to fly there ASAP.
Epimaque is becoming more and more adventures. He is acting like a two year old exploring new things and pushing his limits. That's code for being told, "ohya" which is translated, "no" in English. Oh boy are we in for an interesting summer!!!!!

Hi Ady!!! I haven't had access to e-mail but I have been praying for your process & I'm once again amazed how the Lord has had His hand in all of it! (esp. with that immigration official...WOW) About the passport...yes grovel, it should take 3 days so you SHOULD have it by wed. or thurs. the latest. If they say to come at a certain hour go 1 1/2 to 2 hours prior and bring lots of snacks to be prepared to wait or they may post pone it longer & longer (it is very unlikely they will have it ready at that exact time)...especially if they say to come late in the afternoon, or they may post pone until the next day. Epi is gorgeous...blessings to you all! Kelly
