May 12, 2016

There’s more.  We had a 9 a.m. appointment with immigration in San Salvador, so we left at 7 a.m. to go.  The traffic was especially bad and we arrived at 9:05.  When we saw the immigration officer, they had a list of several things we needed.  However, in the end, she narrowed it to two items.  First was a second copy of our bank records here.  We had obtained one and needed a second notarized by our lawyer.  The second was more complicated:  a new signed form from the legal representative for the church in El Salvador.  New elections are scheduled for the end of the month, but the current representative moved to Honduras, ten hours away.  The wheels started turning for right now Seily is there visiting her son at Baxter.  We thought that he might be there too.  We contacted several people to see if we might locate Mr. Larin.  We hoped to send the form in email and have him sign it and Seily to bring it back Sunday when she returns.  We also needed his DIU and NTE copied, which are government cards.  Mario Lara had a copy of those.  The harder obstacle seemed to be the paper needs to have the church seal.  It left some questions, but the officer was quite clear.  If we did not get the paper with the seal, we would need to leave when our residency was up.  Dwaine has until June 10th and I have until July 13th as our papers were separated last year.  We think this is an obstacle that is not so grand that it cannot be overcome.  On the way out we stopped by a fabric store and Mr. Donut.  I picked up some fabric to make a few Bible costumes and we all had a snack.  We got home in time to go to the evening Bible class.  Flora Marina hosted the study and it was a great evening.  Several visitors came and she served some sandwiches and cake.  She is a visitor and it is exciting to have visitors hosting the studies!   


Nice visitor at our house.
