We were not sure exactly how long we would have to leave the country for before we could return. Yesterday, Kami and Josh went to the Gendarme (Police) and asked them about this process. We had originally thought that we would only have to leave the country for a week or so and then return. However, the Gendarme, who was extremely nice, told Kami that we would have to leave St. Barths for 6 months!
When he saw the look of panic in Kami's eyes, he smiled and said, "But if you happen to stay an extra month or two, it's okay. It's different here on St. Barths, it's not like we will come and hunt you down or something..."
Well, we have been here almost two months and we are still waiting on the paperwork to be completed in France. Please be in prayer about this for us. God's timing is always perfect and He has never failed us and never will. So thus, we are asking that you please keep this matter in prayer and ask God to provide this paperwork in the right time so that we will not have to leave St. Barths.
(As a side note: Kami, the kids, my grandmother and Aunt Mariane went to the horse show here on St. Barths last Sunday afternoon. Silas got to sit on a horse. He didn't like it at first, but that soon changed and he loved being on the horse!)
