August update

- 10 August 2003

We're gradually getting on with things -
This month's been hectic, but good! We can't believe how fast time is flying by now.
On Saturday, our tickets arrived, 2 sets actually, so we had to send one set back!!
On 27th July, Katrina organised a wonderful fundraising barbecue for us, which was really good, and managed to raised about £310, so thanks so much to her and all those who got involved with that!
We've finally found people to rent our flat!! Thank you so much for those of you who have been praying for that situation, its been such a weight of our minds.

We're slowly getting sorted with things like vaccinations, travel insurance and stuff like that. The cards we've been seling have gone down really well. If you want to see them then please than go to http://www.samespirit.net/store.

We've also got some more contacts with people who've been out to Uruguay and who are in Uruguay so thats been a real blessing.

On July 30th we were in the local newspaper - you can see the article on our website: http://www.samespirit.net/uruguay/news, and we've had a couple of responses from that.

Lots more to sort out, we're organising a Latin American Evening on the 6th September so it would be great to see as many of you as possible there, it's going to be a sort of fundraising/goodbye party thing so please let us know if you can make that or want to get involved.

Many thanks to all those of you who have/are supporting us financially or through prayer, or through storing some of our stuff etc. we really appreciate it and your support has been really encouraging. Please keep praying for us in our preparations, and please keep in touch!!
