R签证
Chip做事情做得特别复杂。他写邮件来问我的电话。然后打电话来给我留言,说要找我。于是我回电话给他。
Chip说,恭喜,Eddy,我想亲口对你说,今天收到你的R-1签证批准信了。
离开我提交申请,正好6个月。
曾经有好几个朋友对我说,R签证的申请特别难。他们都请律师来做的。但是既然我觉得要不要拿R签证乃是两可之事,所以并不太在意。到了Angela快出生了,我才开始预备材料,只是为了避免她出生之后需要更多的材料而已。
我祷告的题目是在此事上完全交给神带领,他开门或关门,我们都乐意顺服。
但是一旦开始自己准备,还是在Marianne奶奶的逼迫和帮助下,花了半个月的时间,把自己弄成了半个专家。
最后准备的材料大概200页左右,目录如下:

最近太忙,还没有来得及发News Letter,先暂且通告各位亲朋好友一声。
接下来的事情除了Living Stone,无非是驾照、保险、买车、申请D.Min,若干翻译项目和软件编程,以及编辑一本“Ministry Multiplications Cycle (MMC) Study Bible”吧。
