Help! We are trapped in Pereira. Literally trapped!

Mauricio called this morning to deliver the disappointing news that Hector was unable to get a copy of Daniel's birth certificate from the town of Alcala today because the only person who can sign it is on vacation. He is going to try again tomorrow. Hopefully we will be on a plane Wednesday morning, as early as possible. We have been told that we can still take the boys to the embassy doctor in the afternoon on Wednesday. Hopefully we will be able to stay on track to come home on Sunday. If we have to shift any of our embassy dates it, we will have to change our flight and since we have special tickets with Delta who knows when we will be able to get a return flight.

Please pray that Hector will be able to get the birth certificate tomorrow morning and we will be able to get the passports in the afternoon.

Don't panic..yet! J/K. Really, we flew out Wednesday morning and had our doctor's appointment Wednesday afternoon. Went to the embassy Thursday and sent Jay to pick it up on Friday. I will definately be praying for you guys. I KNOW what's it like to be so close to getting home...and yet still so far away. I know you all are ready. Did you already get the passports?

Prayers are being sent up on your behalf. Hoping the next post is very soon and reporting you'll be on your way to Bogota for the final few steps before you're cleared to return home.
