I'm heading to Paraguay Mom! =)

Well folks, it is official...I am heading down to Paraguay this summer! CRAZY I KNOW!!

In order to get into Paraguay, you have to apply for a travel visa (important info if anyone wants to visit - *wink wink* ) So last Monday, during spring break, I drove down to Miami to get this process going. Now, when I read that I had to visit the Paraguay consulate to apply for the visa, I had visions of going inside a special building, with guards and you know...official embassy looking stuff. I was a TAD disappointed when it just ended up being an office in a random building - oh well! LOL =) (guess I watch too many movies)

But I left my passport, application and $ and they told me to come back in 2 days. So Wednesday, I drove down to Miami again and picked up my passport with my official visa inside (see photo)!

YAY! So the next step is to start applying for jobs and figuring out what to pack and what to store - big jobs ahead.

But my goal is to leave sometime in the middle of July. I will be visiting family and friends for most of June and so I will try and fly out sometime after that!

I will keep you all updated!

Decision time

Hello all!
So Welcome to my blog page! Right now, I am doing a test post here to see if this will really email everyone for me!

As you all know (well most of you I think), I am trying to decide between going to Chile or Paraguay to live for the year. Right now I am leaning towards Paraguay - there is a great couple who has been staying up here in FL for the last few months. They are going to be heading down to lead our sister church in Paraguay and have said that I can come live with them if I end up going down there. They really are just a sweet couple and have very nice things to say about Paraguay and the church down there.

So, on Monday I am going to head down to the Paraguay embassy in Miami and try and get a tourist visa. It might not work out though since your passport has to be at least 6 months old and I got my new one in March, 2009. So pray about that - I am sure God will make it obvious though about where I need to go!

Anyway, please let me know if you got an email about this blog being posted.
Hope you all are well- miss you!
hugs
Sarah
