Amoce has Yanie’s passport in his hand! That is the good news. The more challenging news is that they each have to go to Port Au Prince to get a visa to enter the Dominican Republic. Judy Foster, an American missionary who lives in Cayes, has been trying to help Amoce but she’s having difficulty finding out the fee for a visa. The Embassy of the DR in Haiti has no website, so that’s not proving an effective way of finding out. As near as we can collectively figure out, it will cost $100 USD each.
The surgeon who agreed to do the surgery is arriving in Santo Domingo a week from today, so there is a whole lot to do before then. The administrator from the hospital where the surgery will be performed has not answered my emails, and the phone numbers she gave me back in October no longer work. We’re facing a few puzzles here, and we’ll just have to respond in faith. Amoce and Yanie may just end up flying there and making it work as they go along. It may be the best we can do.
Prayers are welcome!
