Great News

Ok, it is official!! The Hungarian immigration service has given both Merrill and I visas for 5 years. We went this morning and there was no drum roll or fanfare. They called Merrill's name and we went back to see the case worker. She said that his visa would expire in 2014. That is more than what we had hoped for but good news because besides not having to go through the anxiety of filling out all the papers and wondering if you have everything ok, we don't have to pay another fee to file the papers. It is better for both time and money. We thank everyone who joined us in prayer for this to be accomplished. Besides that, it is a beautiful sunshiny day here in Budapest, so we have much rejoicing and thanksgiving!
