All still hinges on passport office here.

Wow! I was just getting ready to pack it in.

Rachel, please reach out to travel agent for an assist with the tickets home for our BABY AND ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not know the exact date yet, but will advise you next week.

Have to go to passport office now, then work on my own VISA.
Also, being very frugal, but money is again a concern.
I will let you know if I need more.

Please reach out to Isreal for my contact in Kinshasa. Cannot burn any more money by paying for someone else's taxi cabs, meals, and lodging.

Email while in Kinshasa may be fewer and farther between since travelling with child, but very very hopeful now.

Please pray for passport today.

We miss you!
Hello Keith, I didn't get a chance to talk with you before you left and really hadn't heard of the good news until your last day here at work. How excited you must be! I wish you the best! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
