As many of you know there is much paperwork that must be completed to live overseas. Last Friday, we found that David's spelling on his birth certificate had been amended in 1965 without David's knowledge. All these years he has been David Stephen, all official documents from diplomas, driver's license, marriage license, children's birth certificates to passports have been David Stephen. Now they tell us that he is David Steven! And oh the tangle to return him to David Stephen!
He has begun the paperwork but the time frame is now totally changed! Pray with us that the officials will understand the situation and expediate the process. He must petition the court, go through the time frame here and have the documentation notarized and certified the notary is valid, return to the vital records in Atlanta for the change to the amended birth certificate and certification, to the Secretary of State for the certificate to be authenticated and then to the consulates for Costa Rica and Guatemala for their authentication. And all this neeeds to be completed before the end of January!
Continue to pray for the sale of the house! Know anyone moving to the area and looking for a home? Know anyone in the area looking for a new home? Continue to pray for the family and the circumstances that must take place before they can move. We are looking at the underside of the finished tapestry of God's plan for us that God has already woven and from this side there seems to be a lot of loose threads and hanging knots. We are claiming the finished tapestry but these threads and knots keep getting in the way!!
