Fly Home Friday!!!

It has been a few days since our last entry, but it has been an amazing week. Mateo's Embassy appointment went well and we will let the next few paragraphs that we sent in an email speak for themselves:

Things are going goodhere in Guatemala. Really, really good.

We were suppose to fly home on Wednesday with Mateo, however, our Guatemalan attorney had Elisabeth's paperwork ready when we arrived down here. The attorney submitted Elisabeth's paperwork on Monday to the US Embassy (the day we had Mateo's Embassy appointment) and we told the US Consulate here that her case was being put in to the Embassy that day and asked them if they could expidite the process, which normally takes two - three weeks after that time to receive your Embassy appointment. Well, Laura pleaded with the US Consulate here, and today we found out that we have Elisabeth's Embassy appointment on Wednesday morning now! We will receive final paperwork for Elisabeth's citizenship and visa on Thursday. So we are bringing both Mateo and Elisabeth home!

Our God is so big considering that on June 1, Ellie was still in the Guatemalan court system and to get into the Embassy and all final docs approval takes 6-8 weeks.

SO, no flight home on Wednesday, but we are flying back on Friday, with both Mateo and Elisabeth. Things have changed quite a bit in the last few days, wouldn't you say?

Thanks so much for all of your prayers and support.

Scott, Laura, Mateo and Elisabeth

What a blessing it has been, we fly home tomorrow with both Mateo and Elisabeth and will meet family in Detroit before heading off to a quick stop at Tanna's (Laura's old 407 roommie) wedding. The transition is still in progress, but what can we say about our Lord: He has definitely blessed us.

Love y'all,
Scott
