We were told we would have to fly to Kota
Kinabalu (K.K for short) to get our new visas for Indonesia. We were
given 30 days when we landed in Indonesia, but in order to stay for
the second month we had to leave the country, apply at the embassy in
Malaysia for another 30 day visa, and then come back. BUT when we got to
Malaysia (we took a bus for 10 hours to a city on the border called
Kuching) we were told we didn’t have to fly to the capital city of K.K,
we could get the visas right there in Kuching! Let me tell you that we
were not very happy with the website information that told us we had to fly to
K.K since we had already bought NON- REFUNDABLE airplane tickets. Oh well,
what were we to do right?! So we went to the airport at 10:15pm to fly to K.K
(even though now it was unnecessary). The great news is that our flight was
delayed! What? You may be asking yourself, "why in the world is it good that
your flight was delayed?" Well, because it was delayed due to a mechanical
problem and they didn’t know when it would be fixed, we asked them to refund our
tickets (which they normally wouldn’t do) and they said YES! So we stayed
in Kuching the whole time and saved the team a few hundred dollars by
not flying to K.K. Also we thought Cassie might have a problem getting a
Visa like she did the last time, but with everyone praying we didn’t have a
problem at all. They didn’t even mention anything, just put a new Visa in
Cassie’s passport! Thank you so much for all your prayers. We had a great
few days of rest in Malaysia, and now we are back in Indonesia for the
last month where we will be teaching the Old
Testament!
