Interesting Day

4/24/2014

I am now at my host home in Boca Raton, FL after a somewhat eventful day. This morning was a little nerve racking as I wasn't sure I was going to make my flight. I had to get an extension on my visa which means leaving my passport with the immigration office. Last week was Semana Santa (Holy Week) so most of the country was off work. The earliest I could take my passport to the immigration office was this Monday. So I took it in and told the lady that I had a flight booked for today and she assured me my passport would be ready to pickup at 9 am this morning. But of course when we went in to get it they did not have it ready. At first the lady could not find it. Then they found it in a stack awaiting the directors signature but were reluctant to take it to the director. So we basically stood there and harassed them until they got annoyed with us enough to go to the directors office. At this point it was already 10:20 and I had to be at the airport by 10:40. I sent out a prayer request and 5 minutes later the lady came back with my completed passport. I was able to get to the airport and through security before my flight started boarding. Praise God !!

Then during the flight my neighbor told me the man and woman sitting in front of us was the President and First Lady of Honduras. Apparently their staff was sitting in first class but they wanted to stay in the economy section. My neighbors spoke to them some and then introduced me. They even let us take photos with them on the plane. So I went from having to harass clerks at the immigration office to shaking hands with the President. Talk about an interesting day :-D
