We have had quite the excitement regarding our visas for Sudan this week!
My project leader has friends in the Sudanese Embassy in the country he is in, so it seemed pretty certain that we would be able to get our visas on Monday. However, turns out that office just stopped producing the visas we need, so on Tuesday we were left trying to figure out how in the world we would get into Sudan! The embassies in Uganda & Kenya, and the office in Sudan can produce these visas, so my project leader sought out these options.
After much prayer, emails, and favor-asking, we all now have TWO visas each! Our office in Uganda was able to get our visas and is sending them to us with a group returning to the states from Uganda on Monday. We should get those visas Wednesday morning---the day we leave! If this doesn't work, the ministry in Sudan has also gotten us visas, and we can most likely get to the airport in Juba as long as the visas are waiting for us when we land.
Needless to say, it was a crazy rollercoaster of being ready to go, then suddenly having no idea of how we would get into the country, and then having two options work out! God provides in cool ways, now we're just praying that at least one of them works!
