Two Crescent Hill folks spoke with Amanda (pictured above in Flores in northern Guatemala) in Guatemala on the Thursday after Easter. Amanda confirmed that she has talked once with Pastor Gerardo and that it should not be necessary for the Guatemalans to obtain new national IDs in order to obtain passports. She laid out the following schedule:
-the Guatemalan mission team members will travel to Guatemala City in May, when they will meet up with Amanda and then visit a government building to obtain passports
-In early June Amanda will visit Kentuckiana, and the church will supply her with letters from the church, the presbytery, and the PC(USA) at the time, one for each of the five mission team members, with names, dates of the trip, and signatures
-After Amanda returns, the mission team members will go online and apply for visas to the United States. They will need photos, Guatemalan passport numbers, access to the letters, and some additional information. They should be able to get appointments within a month.
-In early August the mission team members will again meet up with Amanda in Guatemala City and go to a U.S. government building, where they will apply for their visas. They will find out whether they will get visas that day.
-Immediately thereafter the church buy plane tickets for them.
-Hopefully, the mission team will visit Kentuckiana from Friday, October 7 through Saturday, October 15.
-Perry
