Everyone. After raising support all summer long, after waiting two months to get a Certificate of Eligibility, and after an agonizing week of waiting for my visa to process, I'm super proud to announce that I finally have my work visa in my hands! Praise to God! Suffice to say, it's a surreal moment to be holding the physical portent to my career as a missionary in my hands. I'm practicality speechless.
And now: the date I'm leaving for this new chapter in my life: January 13th! Before then, I'll be visiting relatives in San Diego on the 3rd of January, and departing from there to Tokyo, ten days later. It's so close, I'm nearly dancing with joy! Thank you all so much for supporting, praying, and rooting for me and my ministry for this long! God bless you all!
To celebrate, here's a little song and dance that very much applies to my current feelings:
So happy for you, but also I'm a bit anxious because you'll be so far away. I'll lean on Proverbs 3:5&6. I love your video.
