We got PA!

So in the midst of uncertainty we got some good news. We got an e-mail today from the US embassy that we have been issued PA or pre-approval from the embassy. This is the last thing we need for Ellie's case to get her into PGN! The bad thing is that the embassy is closeing down for the next few days and we do not know when our lawyer will be able to pick up the approval. We are hopeing and praying that it will be next week the couple days that they are open. After it is picked up they will need to translate the document and then it will be submitted into PGN, look out Mateo your sister is on her way! So that is at least a step in the right direction. As far as the situation in Guatemala, I talked to our agency caseworker today and she said it is still unknown what is going on. President Bush is visiting on Monday so we are praying that that is a good encounter. We will keep you updated on the situation but right now it is a lot of prayer and some more prayer. Thank you for your support, we need every prayer and word of encouragment we can get.
