Thanks for all of you that prayed for me. The biopsy came back on the mole and it was not cancerous. It was pre-cancerous but not malignant. Thanks again for your prayers. Now please keep praying that my Visa will come through so I may leave soon! All the glory goes to God!!
God Bless,

Well, here we are two weeks in September and I still don't have much to report on my visa. I called the Consulate in Chicago the end of last week. They told me they had no news for me. This means that my paperwork, as far as I know, is still outstanding. I am not sure where it is currently. Please keep praying as this is starting to wear on me. It can be frustrating since this is the only thing I am waiting on to leave the country. I appreciate all of the prayers and support and I know this is in God's hands. Well, I will write more as I find things out! Thanks again for all the prayers! God Bless.

Dear Friends and Family,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I just found out from my Team Leader in Venezuela that the Consulate had the wrong Matthew. Apparently when they went back yesterday to see when it would get mailed back to the US, they found out it wasn't the correct person. Apparently the Embassy down there has never received my paperwork. Right now we are in the process of calling the Consulate in Chicago to see if they have any information. We are essentially trying to locate a tracking number that would have been assigned to the paperwork when I initially submitted it. Well, I will keep all of you updated as I find out more. Please keep praying as I was hoping this was resolved but it appears now there may be much more work to do. Please pray that they haven't lost my paperwork (including my passport) and that God would work all of this out.
God Bless,
Matt Johnson
