Embassy Update

Wanted to give everyone the update since Friday. On Saturday, I sent Jenny to the Mayan Spa for a more than well deserved massage, facial and pedicure. I spent the morning playing with the kids around the apartment. When Jenny got home, we were having lunch and we spent most of the rest of the day trying to squeeze all of our belongings into suitcases and back packs. For the most part we were successful and only had a few extra shopping bags of stuff. The real test will be if they weigh less than 50 pounds.



Sunday we went to Iglesia del Camino for the last time. After church we rushed home to order Pollo Campero for delivery. However the Pollo Campero did not arrive until after our shuttle to the city arrived, so we had to make do with the food we had packed until we got to the city. When we arrived in the city, the documents for the embassy that we expected to be waiting for us at the front desk had not arrived. In fact they did not arrive on Sunday at all. But we spent the evening exploring the Grand Tikal and adjoining commercial area. We found a food court and all had a late lunch/early dinner. Then it was off to the pool for some fun and relaxation before coming upstairs and getting ready for bed.




After having no luck reaching the attorney on Sunday, I decided to venture out to the embassy on hope and faith that we might be able to get the documents prior to 9am when the USCIS starts calling numbers. I was sitting on the ground outside the embassy praying when I got a call from the attorney apologizing and saying he would have the documents to me before I needed to go into the embassy. About 45 minutes later Favio arrived with the documents. Normal Guatemalan time - everything happens at the 11th hour. At 9:30 I met with the USCIS who accepted the documents and said we would get an e-mail. Now we wait.....but not for much longer.
