more details

just to say...
When we crossed the border from honduras to guatemala i got called in to the migration office..oooooooo...never happend before. the customs agent said that i was late in crossing the border becuse i only have 90 days to be in honduras and i went over. i said, but it´s three months from july 21 till oct.21. that´s how every other customs agent ever counts it that i´ve ever met. but this guy was a stinker. he gets out his calendar and starts to count and add up every day on his calculator. when he gets to october he counts till the 21st, and i said,´But today is the 16th¨. And he looked at me and said, öh yea, i´m sorry.well you only have two more days. you really should get your residency. how long have you lived in hondruas?¨ like i don´t already know all this. we think he was just hoping to get some cold hard cash in his hand.
please pray for us though as we attempt to get into Belize on Tuesday or WEdnesday. Beto needs to stay till tuesday to pick up his license which is the day I should leave, but sometimes (usually)the agents are merciful and will waive the fee if i´m only a few days overdue. Then we will return to honduras from belize but there has been tons of rain everywhere in Central America and flooding in Belize so we are going to try it but it may not be fun to be at the beach this time of year.
Thanks for your prayers.
