Amanda, Maria Arroyo, and others met at the Presbyterian Center World Mission offices, and Amanda received Maria's notarized letters endorsing the visit from each of the Estoreño Presbytery reps. Afterwards, Debby Vial, and Amanda - with Amanda's child in tow - met briefly and passed on letters from Pastor Jane and General Presbyter Betty. Perry will mail replacement letters from Betty to Amanda in Pennsylvania, where she is going to be with her father, who is ill, after she receives even better-looking versions. Amanda suggested that - whether Crescent HIll sends money to the presbytery now for the passport expenses or combines it with some passport expense reimbursement - the church definitely send the money the five will need to make visa application appointments and to apply for the visas in advance of the next trip to Guatemala City- as they will need to pay these not small amounts in advance. Amanda said she would double check the amounts upon her return to Guatemala. Amanda suggested sending visa application trip travel expenses money later, closer to whenever they and Amanda go in July or August, to make sure the money is still available - not spent - at the time they go.
