Mark 10:14, "Suffer the little children to come unto me."
Jesus loved little children. We can brighten the life of a child simply by taking the time to show that we care. Sure do love all the children in my life!🙋♂️🙋♀️
As well as yesterday went, it was the complete opposite today. Started out first thing to get our visas so we can be here and teach English. We had our good friend Dr. Anton with us to make sure everything is okay. The person that has the authority to extend our visa for a year said no. Apparently we need a letter from the University Chancellor. Now we have to go file for an extension for another month.
This is where we have to suffer. Do you remember the signs from a month ago? Well, we're back to go through our suffering getting the extension.
We started out pretty good. Had paper work filled out, got it signed all in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The last thing we needed to do was pay the fee and then wait to get our passports. Well an hour went by, our number didn't show up for us to pay. By now we are getting a little irritated. We started asking the clerks what is happening. They all said to wait for our number to come up.
Another hour goes by and this is where I feel the suffering of a child. I now want to punch somebody. Of course I don't but sure feel like it. We start looking around and I go to the area to pick up our visas. The gentleman that hands out the paid visas has ours. It says it has been paid in full. Not knowing if it is true or not we ask. Sure enough it is paid and now we can stay one more month or longer if we get the extended visa. 🤞
Now we have to suffer the 4 hour drive from Colombo to Kandy. Some days you just never know what is going to happen. Still learning patience.
