Well, after much research and many calls between me, the FBI, and the Consulate...it has been determined that FBI background checks are NOT required for a 4 and 8 year old. However, in our original packet of required documents - this was listed as MANDATORY for all family members....
We tallied it up - and we have spent 10 weeks.... 10 WEEKS.... battling the powers that be to get the girls fingerprinted and through the FBI screening process. 10 precious....wasted weeks....
We compared notes with another new missionary family to Spain - and they too have wasted much precious energy and time on this process with their 3 small children....
Thank you all who have prayed. I firmly believe that having this struggle finally resolved was the result of your prayers. Thank you! We are so glad to no longer be battling it!
However, God knows. And He is sovereign. We wait for His timing and trust that every delay will get us to Spain at just the right moment He wants us there. We don't always have to understand everything. That's good to know. :)
