The Brazilian Consulate and how God worked

I went to the Brazilian Consulate on Monday. My mom, Stephanie, and I all went to DC. Can you say crazy drivers? Once I went in, I had to pull a ticket. I got a crazy number. I was going have to wait a while. So Stephanie and I started to build a house out of cards. Of course, it didn't work. Oh yeah, did I say it was hot. I guess it was preparation for Brazil. So I started talking to the girl beside me. She had pulled two tickets one for her and one for her friend. She had gotten there early but her friend didn't show up. She gave me her extra ticket. God is so good. I was next after only a 30 minute wait. That was a miracle at the Brazilian Consulate!! Guess what, it gets better. The lady who took my visa was a Baptist and she was so nice. I was just glad I didn't get the other person. He seemed to be having a bad day. He was fussing at other people because they didn't have the proper paperwork or they brought only 130 dollars instead of the required 200 dollars. Wow, what a trip. God is at work and He is so faithful! I have to call the Consulate and find out the status of my visa on Monday. I will keep you posted. Praise God!
