Update on Bolivia

Buenos Dias!!

It has been awhile since I last wrote. I was waiting to write because I was hoping I could tell you a leave date and some good news. However, that good news has not come in yet.

We have been having some bad luck with our Visa's. We were hoping we would have our Visa's and would be able to leave for Bolivia last week. However about two weeks ago we heard that the Bolivian Embassy wanted more documentation in order for them to approve our Visa's. It seems like every time we give them new documentation they say that they want another document. Today we got some more news that the embassy wanted another letter in Spanish that needs to be sent to the State Department of North Carolina and then the State Department in Washington before it can go back to the Embassy. This process can take up to a week or more. So we still do not know when we are leaving or how long this process is going to take.

So we are missing Orientation this week and will most likely miss the first day of school next week :(

Hopefully within the next few weeks we will have some good information and we can get to Bolivia before the end of the month!

So for now...

Adios!! - Rachel

    Which reminds me...don't think we sent in our support. Gotta go look for your letter!
