In Tegucigalpa

Here in Tegucigalpa we have had to put the baby in a bucket. Good thing he's not any bigger yet! There are no such things as bath tubs here, although there are sometimes exceptions.
We enjoyed spending time with an old friend who used to work at the Southwest School, and his mom and sister came along too.
The other day when we went to get Santiago's Honduran passport it was pretty easy. After we left there we went to pick up his authenticated birth certificate. We were pretty happy because we thought we were all done with the paperwork but turns out we had to go to one more office to get it apostilled or somthing like that. i guess it's like a notary, making it doubly official. of course to do that we had to run to the complete opposite end of the city, but luckily it's close by to amber's house. i think they should just put all these offices that are interconnected in one place, but i guess that would make too much sense.
so later today we have the American Passport appt. at the US embassy. ironically it won't be as easy as getting the Honduran one. we have to have a lot more paperwork and proof that he is ours, including pictures of us together all through the pregnancy and with Santiago after the birth. If you read this in time please pray for us.
Tomorrow of course is Beto's VISA appt. and if he gets it we can pick that up later this week, so maybe this weekend we'll be headed back to La Esperanza.
The American passport won't be ready for a couple weeks perhaps but once we find out we will be able to book our flight. Hopefully we will fly to Guatemala in just two weeks and from there to LA, in a little less than a month.
