End in sight?

I want to be an optimist, but my experience here the last 3+ weeks discourages me from being one. There is a good possibility that Enock's visa will be issued tomorrow. Unless the consulate comes up with one more thing, I will recieve and turn in the last document needed tomorrow morning. I have been told that the visa has been approved pending this last document, but until I have the visa in my hand I cannot rejoice. Oh how I want to celebrate, and I will with gelatto...yes there is really good gelatto in Kinshasa. I saw something on the blvd. today that I wouldn't have dreamed of, a cycling race. Decent looking bikes with a police motorcycle escourt down the street. Francis told me that they do it every Sunday, it would be great to be a part of it! Maybe they can get a triathalon started, but I don't know about swimming in the Congo river. With the currant, you would be to the Atlantic Ocean before you knew what happened. Enock is really great kid and these last three weeks have been beneficial in establishing our relationship. Looking forward to getting home and working through the family adjustments. Hopefully I will have a visa by the time the time Orange wakes up Monday morning. Grace and Peace, Michael & Enock.
