Beaurocracia (Red tape)

Things are still in limbo with our visa process. We have done everything possible from our end here in San Jose, and our legal representative (lawyer) in Quito, Ecuador is helping us now from that end to get our visas. We should know something more at the beginning of next week. So please continue to pray with us that this will all get worked out.

Nothing other great and interesting to report. We have less than five weeks left here, and it continues to fly by. We finished our grammar book yesterday in class, so now we are going to be learning things that most students won't get to which will probably amount to busy work, trying to keep us occupied for the last few weeks of school.

Of the 6 people in our classgroup, at least one of us has been gone everyday for over the past month. We are not the only ones trying to get visas, buy plane tickets, and really do whatever comes logistically in order to go to our respective countries. One family in our class is going to Mexico, another Panama, ourselves to Ecuador, and another family is staying here in Costa Rica (They were going to go to Venezuela but are unable to now because of the ban on American Missionaries because of certain statements made by a certain televangelist/christian news guy). So among all of us, there are many things to be done, and many different processes to figure out as well.
