Beto's Residency

We're in Tegucigalpa! It's always good to get away, even though we've only been back in Honduras for two weeks. We are beginning to process of getting Beto his US residency so we had to come for the week to prepare and present all the paperwork, etc. at the embassy. We are staying with my old roomate Amber in her new house, well, that she's renting. It's really nice and we don't have to feel guilty about her giving us her room and bed! It has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms!

This morning we got up at 6 and were running errands until almost 3. But now that that's done we can relax. On Friday and Saturday I am going with Amber and her intern Courtney to a missionary women's retreat and Beto's going to watch Santi. I'm really excited. I was supposed to go to one in October with Amber but didn't have time and Amber raaaaaved about it!!! So I can't wait! last night we finally went for the first time (beto's second) with Amber downtown to see her ministry building and her Breaking Chains homeless ministry in action. it is amazing! I totally admire Amber and all that she does here in the capitol of Honduras.

We have to go back to the EMbassy on monday morning to present all our paperwork. Please pray that all will go smoothly and we will have all the paperwork we need and that it will be correct, exactly as the embassy wants it. they can be very picky and sometimes the info on their website isn't helpful enough. If all goes as planned he could have his residency within two months.

last Saturday we were home all day. Beto had gone out early in the morning and came back midmorning and left the car parked out front instead of inside the gate since we were planning on going out again. At some point, we don't know who slashed our tires about 5 times with a knife or machete. We think it was just a prank by some of our neighbor kids but we really didn't see anything. Please pray for us to have wisdom and for our safety, and that we will be careful but not fearful. thanks so much~!
