In two weeks, I was preparing to make my big move to Botswana, but a couple days ago, I was informed of some new laws put in place by the Botswana government that will delay my departure for about another 4 months. I need to obtain a residency permit for Botswana since I’ll be living in the country for more than 90 days. In the past, this permit could be processed while one is living in the country, but this is not the case anymore. They no longer allow residency applicants to live in the country while their application is being processed. So, I am disappointed to delay my departure further, but I still know that this is what I’m supposed to be doing, and I’m trusting that God is still directing my steps and I will arrive in Botswana in His timing.
Please pray for favor with my residency application and that it’s processed quickly with no delays or problems. Please also pray that God directs this additional time I have to spend in the US. I’ve decided to stay in San Diego with my family and I’ll continue with my job in web work with MindFlint, as well as working to raise more funds for my year in Botswana.
