Our blog has recently been living up to its name of 'NOTT News' as there has been no news. We have been waiting for the opportunity to share some exciting news but things have been very quiet on the visa front. We have completed our church visits/home leave and we are now awaiting news from Is/Pal about our visa applications. We have previously been able to enter Israel on a tourist visa and then change it in the country but this procedure has now stopped and long term visas have to be obtained before entering. Amending a visa from within the country was hard enough but at least you could visit the government offices in person. During our home leave we have been able to spend some quality time with family and friends including a 'farm-sit' for Peter's sister and brother-in-law. It was a time when Peter could be a real cowboy.
