Update May 12th!

Matt spent his workday in the Haitian Ministry of the Interior with colleagues Toma and Guylene and G's lawyer where both of the important people signed the papers. Just 8 hours for 2 signatures! and including a frantic call to me asking me to e-mail some passport looking photos of the three of us for our file. Our file must be getting really big.

I went to the Canadian Embassy to start the VISA process which you can't start w/o the passport and we don't have the passport yet. . .
but Haiti is full of tomorrows and we have a meeting at 8:30 with THE DIRECTOR. If we can get to the Canadian Embassy by 9:55AM with the new passport in hand then we might get a VISA by tomorrow afternoon.

If not we'll have to get a US transit VISA as well as the Cdn VISA and fly whenever we get both of those.

At this point we are praying for deep breaths and God's will if not a time change around 10 tomorrow morning.

While it's true that THIS has taken forever, forever has flown by and Haiti has/is in this process giving us a living piece of her that, if things continue as they've started, promise endless adventure and discovery.



hope all is good with everyone, love G E M
