Last week we had a mini-crisis when we realized we couldn't leave the country without our Peruvian ID cards, which were stolen earlier in the month in my backpack. That's a problem since we're schedule to leave for La Paz, Bolivia tomorrow night.

We made some phone calls, considered the options, and decided to risk running the paperwork through the Immigrations office here in Pucallpa rather than taking a day of my mom's visit to fly to Lima. There was definitely a chance the IDs wouldn't arrive in time and we'd be left with a couple of bad options.

Yesterday we got a phone call that the IDs had arrived! It took three business days-- record time. Praise God! I'll attribute it to Him and also to the 20 ripe and delicious chico rico mangoes I gave the immigrations guy. A little gift never hurts.
