Visa Extension and Guitar Practice!!!

This morning, I got up, read my Bible, and got ready for the day. Bro. Ruckman made eggs, bacon, and toast; everything tasted great. After breakfast, I went back up to my room and did a few exercises. Then, I got my stuff ready to go to immigration with Pastor Prince and Pastor Dare. Pastor Prince got to the house a little before nine; then, Pastor Dare got there a little after nine. We left the house at 9:50 to get my visa extended. I have a multi-entry visa, which is good for five years. The only catch is I am only supposed to stay in the country for sixty days at a time. So, we went to see about getting a ninety-day extension.

When we got to the immigration office, we were able to figure out what I needed, how much it would cost, etc. We had to go for a walk to a photography studio to get passport pictures; then, we walked back up to the immigration office. Bro. Ruckman thought it would cost $150 U.S. dollars to get everything done, but it ended up only costing 200 cd or $20 U.S. dollars. Once we had finished there, we went and got flags for the missions conference which is starting on Sunday.

Once we had gotten the flags, we got Pizza Hut for lunch, then headed to the house. When we got home, we all ate Pizza Hut and drank Coke. After I had eaten, I went up to my room to rest. Then, I called Marlin, a friend from my church in Texas who knows how to play the guitar. My aunt bought me a guitar right before I came to Africa, and I have finally started getting to where I have time to practice and learn guitar. I was able to talk on the phone with him for about an hour; we had a good time.

Once I had finished practicing, I went downstairs. Mrs. Angie is feeling a lot better than she did yesterday; so, she heated leftover pizza up, and she was able to eat a piece or two. After supper, Bro. Ruckman, our guard (Shadrack), and I watched a couple missions videos. I am now in my room typing today’s blog. I will then be heading off to get cleaned up for the day. After that, I may practice guitar for a little bit; then, it will be off to bed.
