All right, here are some recent example – some success stories, and some prayer requests…

• Trying to get US passports… first you need time and patience, then some special cards, then these little books…
• These guys could really use your prayers.  They’ve been waiting for months for their van to be released from customs…
• Let’s get a driver’s license.  Some fake money and misunderstandings later, here’s one license.  And someone else in the process of getting a license – here’s part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, and part 6!
• For some more fun, let’s try to buy a vehicle (actually, this is a very old post (2007), but a good addition to our topic…): Red Tape
• Here’s a weird container story – held up by customs, and yet at the missionaries’ house.  Latest prayer request here.
• Here’s a great one to end with – lots of issues in this Update 2009 May.  You can read older posts if you want to hear the whole container story, but there are other issues here as well.  These are the things so many have to deal with, and it’s well expressed!
