Hey everybody! For those who knew, we, Beto and I, went to Tegucigalpa, the capital, last Thursday because Beto had his VISA appointment at the U.S. Embassy early Friday morning. We were both so nervous, but I think me more than beto. We stayed with Awesome Amber, who drove us around everywhere and is such a great friend! beto had already met with a lawyer, whom God provided (he's a cousin of a friend) to help him get his residency here in Honduras which would help with the VISA. We drove around for about 30 minutes trying to find him and finally got the needed document. We arrived just in time and then proceeded to wait in line for about 4 hours. It was all very orderly and organized. At first Beto was denied, but God opened many doors and we were allowed to go back in that same hour after his appointment and I was allowed to explain our situation to the same man who interviewed him the first time. After listening he changed his mind and granted Beto a temporary VISA! We are both so very excited. It really is a miracle of God. All along we had prayed more for the person who'd be giving the interview, that he/she would understand our story, listen to our situation, and have a heart of compassion, and that's exactly what happened!
Thank you to all who prayed. We fly in to LA Dec. 20 and will be married the 29th. We get to stay 3 weeks, my Christmas break. Praise the Lord!
Merry Christmas!
Congratulations! Wish we could be there. May God bless your new family.
ReplyDeleteGive my greetings to your "not-so-new" family.
Grace and peace,
Tim
YAHOO!!!!!! I like how you casually mention the "married" part at the end of the blog!! HA HA!
ReplyDeleteCant wait to meet Beto and see you!
Oh, by the way, Charles has an application that Beto must fill out and be approved before he can marry you, I promise it will be less painless than getting his VISA (I think!)
Good news!! Hope all works out with the travel plans.
