The first application is in!

So we submitted our writeup and application for the business to the Department of Industry on Thursday just before the office closed. This was important because otherwise the office was going to be unreachable for the next 5 days. Friday - Democracy Day; Saturday - Always off; Sunday and Monday - Scheduled Maoist Bandha's or strikes where they stop all traffic from flowing through the city.

So now that the application is in, the department will talk about the business in several different groups to see if they will allow foreign investors to start such a business. It's totally out of our hands but never out of God's so please be praying for us, the application, and Bipin. Bipin is one of the directors with the Foreign investment branch of the department and would be pivotal in these discussions. I had the chance to talk with him for a bit and explain the business a bit more to him. He said he thought it was a great business but wasn't convinced whether or not it would be allowed. We are also trusting that if this is the business that God wants here that it will be able to be done without us having to bribe them to do it. Please join us in prayer over this process.

Thanks everyone and don't miss the other post I just did below of a few pictures from the week! (You may have to click the "Older Posts" link at the bottom to see it)
