We had been unable to contact the embassy either by phone or e-mail to check if the visas were ready to be collected, so we decided to travel to London on Tuesday by faith, in the hope that we could get them.
As we left the car and headed for the train Sue's mobile rang - it was the Indonesian Embassy telling us that the visas were ready - could we go and collect them!
We had a good journey,even though the train was crowded and people were standing we found two seats.
I got given an unwanted tube ticket at Paddington, in about 5 queues of 20 people each a lady threaded her way through the crowds to give it to me!
We got to the embassy at 2.30 just as they opened, and our passports were on top of the pile - we could see them! Within 5 minutes we had our visas and then spent a wonderful, restful, afternoon in London.
God directed us every step of the way, and had gone ahead of us on Tuesday - praise the Lord.
We are starting the packing!

GETTING THERE
We will be leaving Heathrow on the afternoon of the 9th June, travelling via Dubai and Jakarta (overnight in Jakarta) and should arrive in Banjarmasin on the afternoon of the 11th June. Please pray that all the arrangements go smoothly, the connections are on time, the volcanic ash is blowing in the opposite direction and someone meets us at the other end!
Please also pray that the letters we are waiting for from the school arrive in time for us to arrange the visas.

JOURNEYS WITH THE ROTHWELLS
On June 9th Stan and Sue will be travelling to Banjarmasin, Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia.
Our reasons for going? To prepare and deliver an Intensive English course for 17 to 25 year old students, to get to know the area, the people and their culture, their view of the world and to learn more about ourselves and what God may have in store for us.
Please remember us and the people of Kalimantan in your prayers.
We will update the blog as often as we are able.
