Let me explain what happens when your U.S. Passport disappears while you are in an airplane going back to your native country. The itinerary was to fly from LAX to Atlanta to Brussels to Rwanda. But from Atlanta to Brussels, my U.S. Passport disappeared into thin air and I did not realize that it had vanished until I was at the security check point at Brussels airport. When I realized that my passport was missing, I went straight back to the airplane and check it thoroughly with the crew but nothing was there. The Brussels airport security told me that I had to fly back to the U.S. as I could not enter their country without a passport.
I was told that people in Rwanda were in tears at the airport when they received the shocking news about what had occurred during my flight. They had organized to have a big welcome at the airport for me as they had different choirs and people from all over the country had come to personally greet me at the airport. Their joyful anticipation was filled with sadness when they received the news about my predicament.
Everything happens for a reason. Please pray about this as I am trying to schedule an appointment with the U.S. Consulate in LA to see if they can expedite a new passport in one day in order for me to travel to Rwanda by the latest Monday. Let's pray about this and I will definitely keep you posted as to what takes place.
Grace & Peace, Paul
