Our meeting at the mayor's office went well today. It took most of the morning but finally we got to see the vice mayor who listened to our case and then asked for us to submit copies of the legal descriptions of our property. Thank the Lord, we had taken the file which had copies, so that part didn't take very long. He conferred with the assessor's office and then said that he will take our case to the mayor and then next week will make an appointment for us to see the mayor and see if we can be relieved of having to pay property taxes. That is the outcome that I had really hoped for. I don't want to have to pay property taxes, but I want it to be an official decision that is documented in the record. I got to thinking, we have been here now 11 years. About one year and nine months of that time I have spent in waiting rooms of the various government offices.After the mayor's office we went to the Costa Azul Hotel to make reservations for Dr. Green's team coming on the 23rd. That went without a hitch. We then went to the bakery to pick up a cake for the staff luncheon. When we came out the van wouldn't start. It was 11:30 in the luncheon begins at 12. We called and asked Beto to come get me in the pickup. Just before he got there Nicholas got the van started and we all arrived back to the mission center in time for lunch. As usual we had good fellowship over lunch.
