Here's the latest on our alien friend =)

First let me say thanks to everyone for your prayers and messages! It's been pretty awesome. After two days of just waiting and praying the papers finally arrived in San Jose at 6:30am this morning. HUGE praise! We had been tracking the shipment on DHL.com. Usually their are more steps in between leaving one DHL location and arriving at another, but I think God just had us trusting Him. I was waiting for transits, customs clearance, shipment etc. Next thing I knew, the papers were all ready to get picked up!
Stuart should be on his way over there right now to get them. NOW the big prayer request is that everything goes smoothly at the Embassy. Pray that there are no more glitches and that the consulate is lenient, compassionate, understandable...Christian

...who knows what might help. Once he gets cleared, his next step is finding a flight home, which, as far as we know, shouldn't be a huge problem, just some more fees.

Thanks again for all your support and prayers. It's undeniable that God has had his hand in all of this. We still don't know how it will end up, but we know that God is faithful.
Again, feel free to ask questions, leave comments, or call the U.S. Consulate in Costa Rica and plead.

Another post coming soon!
