WRITTEN BY MY SON TIM

Since as long as I can remember I've prayed on a daily basis that God would help me to find the perfect girl. Through an unbelievable route I met Tram. Get this, I lost a GREAT job that I was growing rapidly at, and I found a new job nearly immediately that I actually like to do. After a couple years I met Tram's uncle at work (turns out he's my best friends neighbor!), then after just joking around with him about having any nieces he gives my picture to his niece and she passes it off to her cousin and BOOM, I've been married since March. Amazing how God works!

Now, I ask all of you to lend Tram and I your prayers. We are now at the most difficult step of bringing her over here. In only a matter of days, she will have an interview in English, with the American Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. This is one of the hardest Consulates to immigrate through as there is a high amount of fraud here. Our paper work is all top notch and anything they could possibly deny us for has been beefed up with plenty of ammo. Of course, mistakes can be made and I pray that we did not make any. It all comes down to the interview now. It is a 3 - 5 minute 10 - 20 question interview. It sounds simple enough but it has Tram worried to death, and rightfully so.

I ask that you all pray for a easy time through the consulate. That Tram hears the questions and answers them clearly and correctly. I ask that you pray for a kind, understanding, Consulate Officer and Vietnamese staff that does not give her a hard time as so often happens. I ask that you pray for her to have a clear mind and a happy, positive mindset.

This interview means the difference of Tram and I being reunited within 2 weeks or us going into a long drawn out battle with the US Department of Immigration (not fun).

I know that it is all in God's hands and out of Tram and I's now. I know this means she will be here. I'll be right aside each of you praying on a daily basis and thanking the Lord for all he's done for Tram and I (so much more than I could ever list).

Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, kind words, and support,

Tim
