The Letter of Acceptance

Oct 28, 2026  •  Stanton Petersen

Have you ever waited for news that would change everything?

Let me tell you a personal story. At the end of November, 2008, I asked my wife to marry me, in South Africa, Cape Town. And three days later, she got on a plane and went back to America.

So that December, I applied for a fiance visa to come to this country. And then I waited.

December. January. February. March. April. May. June.

Seven months.

And I today want to tell you what that letter taught me about peace with God.
