Singapore

Well, by now most of you know that I will be going to Singapore in the morning, so let me just tell you what happened...
A few weeks ago, we realized that it was about time for me to check up on my visa and get an extension so that I did not have to go out of the country every 60days. When we looked into it we discovered that the Indonesian government granted me a business visa instead of a social visa. (Why I don't know as we applied for social) Basically that means that I will not be able to get it extended. My visa is good for a year, just as long as I go out of the country every 60days. This means that I will have to go out again in Feb, however, next time Pastor Sam will go with me and will do some preaching. This time is on my own. 
I am very happy to report that my father has friends who live in Singapore and will not only be able to pick me up at the airport, but will give me a place to stay as I will only be there one night and will come back to Salatiga the next day. As much of a hassle as this trip is, I am looking forward to it. Not necessarily because of shopping, but because I have never been there before, and I feel that God wants to show me some things while I am there. Sometimes things that pull us away from where we thought we needed to be put us closer to the actual goal. 
I know that this blog is not long, but it is a blog, and so I think that is an improvement. Know that you are all in my prayers. Much love, Stephanie.
