Dear Everyone,
So, I am totally impressing myself lately. I had to get a bunch of documents together to apply for my two-year visa, and this involved going to a lawyer and stuff like that. And I managed to do it mostly on my own! I went to the lawyer and asked for a "memorial" and a "carta notariada" and got that all figured out, BY MYSELF, in SPANISH! And then I hit Immigration by myself, and got shuffled around from window to window, and got it all filed and paid for and stamped, BY MYSELF, in SPANISH!
They say it takes 10 to 20 days to process, but I'm skeptical. The lady at the final window showed me the date on my receipt, and it says to come pick it up on December 30th. However, the lady very frankly told me that there's no way it will be ready then, but I can just come check on it. You know, if I'm missing my passport and want to let it know how I'm doing, I can come in on that day and inquire after it, have a little visit.
So, that's all in the bag, which I consider to be a miracle on a not-too-minor scale.
Ooooh, and speaking of minor scales! I am having so much fun with my guitar lessons! I just learned my first two chords on Tuesday, and I'm practicing diligently. I think I'll be doing a lot of that over the holidays. Jeremy and Carlos leave tomorrow for Canada for Christmas, and I know the house will feel very lonely.
Prayer request: that I will have peace over the holidays and not get worried about staying here alone. And for safety.
Thanks! Lots of love,
Rachael

Minor scales? That was an amazing segue. I think it may have even been rigged. That said, minor scales are the best kind of scales. Except perhaps magic scales from a magic fish.
I think you are not just impressing yourself, but all of us, with your bureaucracy-navigatin' spanish skills!
