When we were in Bible College our Pastor often had to make difficult announcements, sometimes he was able to share a blessing at the same time. He would say we have an opportunity to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. We have one of those times.
It seems odd to share this news with you know, but we know God's timiing is best and we want to give Him the glory for answered prayers. On Friday before we left for the ladies retreat Scott got a notice in the mail that he needed to get the certificates granting the kids legal residency in Uruguay. Yesterday before spending the afternoon and evening at the hospital awaiting Belen's surgery he took the morning to go to immigration. This morning he showed me the 7 certificates for each of our USA born children. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
10 months ago when Silas was born there was no law on the books which would help us to gain residency. We simply (ha, was there anything simple about it?) had to go through the process, and continue going through it. But God knew that in February of this year a law would be passed granitng residency to parents of Uruguayan born children. All our other children fell into this same benefit. We can't tell you how glad we are to have that finally finished. Our support level ought to go up now that we don't ahve to keep making trips into the capital for red tape. Thanks for praying.
