I received this mass mailing e-mail from Amuy yesterday:

Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your prayers and emails of encouragement. The situation of Mario and Josias is almost the same; they continue in Panama looking for the possibility to travel back home. The past days have been tired for both of us… visiting offices, many phone calls and trying to deal with the 7 hours of difference among both countries.
As you know, the Panamanian government was asking for a certain stamp on Josias permission to travel, but our embassy here is not allowed to give this stamp! They are asking documents as if Josias is a Panamanian resident, but he is not! And for this reason they don’t allow him to leave the country.
Finally I was asked to visit a lawyer here and make a special document where I declared that “I am his mother, that he has been detained in Panama and that Mario has the total permission from my part to bring our son back to Spain where we actually live”. It’s a document of 6 pages that has a stamp of the government here and we hope it would help. The letter should arrive to Panama tomorrow. Please help us praying.
1. That with this document Mario and Josias would be able to return home and to get a flight for them soon.

2. For Josias school, I have been visiting the teachers to update them and they are willing to help sending homework to Panama by email.

3. For our church here, we are passing a difficult situation. The oldest sister of our church is at hospital and the doctors just said she will die soon. Her family and church are needing someone to guide them in this difficult moments and Mario is not here to help.

We are trusting that everything will happen according to the will and time of the Lord. Thank you so much for your love and prayers in this time.
