Nelton's Post Visa Interview Letter

Nelton just had his second interview for tourist visa today and this is what he had to say:


Dear Family and Friends,

I give sincere thanks for all of your prayers for my visa to go to the United States. Today I had my interview, and I was denied the visa. With great sadness I tell you this, because I really wanted to meet all of you. But I was also thinking that God has His will for my life and He will use me as He pleases. For that reason, I told God if he has a purpose for me to go to the States to use me there, that He will make it possible. That’s why I feel okay, because I left everything in God’s hands. But thanks for remembering me and may God richly bless you, so much more than what you asked on my behalf. I know that God has His way to help me get to the States to meet you all and to work for His purpose, which is the most important. I know that God always moves with purpose, so I know that I will be able to go when it’s His time. Don’t be sad for me, but rejoice, because you know that God has a plan for all of us.
I told Bethany that if she wants to go to the States, she can go. I would be very happy for her to go and see her family and friends. I also want my daughter to meet all of you, because I know that you are all anxious to meet her, and I don’t want to be selfish. I know it will be a great blessing for her to be with you all. So maybe Bethany and Kyliana will go to the States, and I will stay and continue the work here that God has given us to do together. It would be sad to see them be so far from me, but deep down I know that she is going ahead to open the doors. When God put this in my heart, I felt peace and I know that God Himself is doing His plan.
Thank you to each of you, and above all, to my in-laws, Terry and Debby Baxter, for their prayers and belief in us to do God’s work here.
With much Love,
Your Brother,

Nelton Noriega Tejada


If anyone has any ideas about how to get to the States without being an immigrant, just for a visit that's more guaranteed then the tourist visa, please let us know. The reason we didn't get it this time is because "we don't make enough money." We think they will always find some reason with the tourist visa. Thanks for any pointers!
