It's all about the Cross, really.

Permesso Update!

Glad you asked! I know you are all wondering if we are about to be escorted out of Italy. No worries... we think we have it figured out. Turns out that the magic “seal” they wanted was from the Vatican because they thought we were Roman Catholic missionaries. We now have a letter, in Italian, explaining that we are not and that our order doesnt even have a seal. The issue of the seal on the girls birth certificates might be a little more sticky. We shall see. We will be armed with the original translations of their birth certificates and pray for grace.

Our plan is to go there next week - probably on Wednesday. The thought is to be there VERY early (like in line at 6 AM) so that we can get to the scary window earlier in the day. Maybe then the lady behind the window will be in a better mood.... News at 11.
