Yep, still waiting for word from immigration. We've had to send some additional paperwork that was requested by New Zealand and have one more (hopefully the last) to send. Our contact person, Jason, hopes to have some news by the end of the month. This would be extremely helpful for several reasons, not the least of which is WE JUST WANNA KNOW!!!
November 1st is the date in our contract on our home in NZ by which we have to proceed with the purchase of the house or let it go. Immigration is the only condition left unfulfilled. We may have to request an extension, however, if the sellers have any other interested parties, they may which to deny that request.
We also would REALLY like to have our belongings shipped. It will take 8-12 weeks for our things to get to NZ and we'd really prefer NOT to sleep on the floor for more than a couple of days.
We also need to book our flights as well as get Pete's transport, quarantine, etc. arranged.
We KNOW that God has a plan and it is perfect. Billy and I both believe in our hearts that it is God's will for us to move to New Zealand. He has already worked out so may details that would not be necessary if we were to stay stateside. Whether these delays are to refine our faith, teach us patience or for reasons we have yet to discover, I am finding peace in the fact that, while we have no control, God does!
