Residency update

Our provisional card expired on June 30, but July 18 finds us still waiting for our permanent (1-year) residency card. Shortly before June 30, we were told that our permanent card would be ready in 1-2 weeks. Two weeks ago, William called and they told him that our paperwork was awaiting a final signature. Last week we stopped by the office and they said that our paperwork was approved and signed, but our cards were not printed . . . . so check back on Monday.

We decided to call again before making another trip--today when we called the immigration officer told us that they were having problems with their computer system . . . check back tomorrow. We will be leaving for Guatemala on July 29 and need to have our residency card in hand by that time. Looks like we will be calling on a daily basis and, when we hear the news that they are ready, we will be dropping everything to go pick them up!

Thanks for continuing to pray for us--we are confident that God will provide them at just the perfect moment.
