We had a very disappointing day today. After months of work to get VISAs for Anna, the director of Angel House, and Lucy, a student they were dennied VISAs. A lot of money has gone into sending them to the US. $400 each air fare to Daresalem,the capital, plus hotel, bus fare and meals for 3 days. Things have been in the works for Anna to accompany Dr. Lisa home and for Lucy to attend an American school for a couple of months. People on both the American and Tanzanian side are frustrated and disappointed. They had every piece of paper needed. Lucy had a letter from the school, physical, reason for going and the reasons for comming back. Anna just got married, has 3 children, a home, a great job and owns land here. There would be no reason for her to want to stay in America yet they were turned down. The other bad thing is that you can only apply for a VISA three times in your lifetime and they can turn you down three times.
So sad day here but the Lord is good all the time.
Blessings, TIA Pam
