My adventure to Chile has already began. I knew that there would be some unforeseen things that would come up prior to me leaving but I never thought I would lose thing I already had. Lets start from scratch.
I have never lost a legal document before. I mean really.
I've misplaced things don't get my wrong... but to right down lose something important- never!
So since I applied to the trip, I have lost my passport and my SS card. Awesome.
Yes, I know what you are thinking....what a clumsy and non-organized lady. K. Stop judging.
It's official. It's lost. I've looked in every mouse corner of property that I own or rent and nada.
Nowhere to be found. Yes, I know what you're thinking... NBD... apply for a new one.
Well... that's what you think. It's complicated!
To make a long story longer... my mother and I haven't becomes the best of friends the last two years... in fact the polar opposite. I won't get into that much, but being the most intelligent person on the planet- she believes that I sold my passport. Can you imagine what she will think about my SS card? Ha Ha!
Fast-forward. She won't allow me to get the safe deposit key to get my birth certificate to apply for a passport.
So I have had to take the longest shortcut to getting a new passport.
Applied for a new birth certificate. Check. Get notarized. Check. Purchase & shipping. Check. Apply for lost SS card. Get assisted in 5 mins @ SS office downtown (took me longer to walk there) Check. Get offered a Mexican passport 3 times on my way home. Check! Receive birth certificate in 2 days. Check.
Applying for new passport.. pending next week with paycheck.
God has been revealing so much to me about myself in this trip and how much I need to trust Him.
Initially with all this paperwork issues, I would normally just walk away and think I'm not supposed to go.
Next week: Pray. Get expedited passport & send out support letters! :) Excited to share more as hot off the press news and praises come in.
