Residency Update

We returned to complete the final step of our residency applications yesterday, or so we thought. 

Good News:  Scott and I have successfully completed the process.  In about 45 days we will return one more time to pick up our residency cards.  At that point, if we have not passed the driver's license test we will have to stop driving.  We will be able to get "real" bank accounts as well as other services or perks.  Of course, this first card is only good for one year and then we will have to repeat the entire process all over again.

Bad News:  The kids did not successfully complete the process.  As we were completing the final step it was discovered that the first step was done incorrectly.  The kids were listed as independent people and not connected to a parent.  They are minors so this is a big problem.... so, on Monday we go back to Aluche (an old jail that is now where residency applications are processed) and talk with the man in charge to see how to correct it.  The good news is that Scott can go to language school and I can take them.  Alex says the good news is also that he gets to miss school (he did not have Thanksgiving off).

Keep praying.  They say this is normal (to have several hiccups in the process) so we are not worried.  Besides, God has been faithful to this point so I have no reason to think He will not continue to be faithful.
