So I'm here at my gate in Orlando (free wifi - bonus points for Orlando International Airport!) about to begin my 9th trip down to the Dominican Republic. Each visit has been unique unto itself but none of them have been as important as the one I'm on now. In my last post, I told you all about Ana Maria and that she had a brain tumor. Over the last several weeks, we have prayed cried, gritted our teeth at immigration hoops - all to try and get Ana Maria to the states so that she can have a surgery that will, in the short term, save her vision and, in the long term, her life. At this point, every detail we could think of has been covered. Now it's up to God (and hopefully a very understanding and compassionate immigration officer).
Ana Maria and I will travel to the capitol, Santo Domingo, on Sunday evening for a 7:30 am appointment at the embassy to apply for an emergency humanitarian parole visa. Please be praying for us. This is a tricky and complicated process. Thank you for your prayers thus far...and thank you to those who have sent money, support, resources and insight into the visa process.
Once I am in the village, I may or may not be able to update here. I will try my best though. I am certain I'll be able to give you all an update once we are in Santo Domingo.
Love you all - keep praying!!!
