Dear Friends and Family,
We are off to Texas on January 3rd! Bruno has only 3 days left at his job then it will be a whirlwind of Christmas and suitcases as we pack up everything for storage. We are only taking whatever will fit in our car to school since it is was so expensive to rent a U-Haul. We will just buy the necessities when we arrive.
The camp in Uruguay was flooded by the river that runs behind the property. The river is at its highest in 40 years, over 30 feet above normal. All the weeks of camp for December and the first week of January have been canceled! As you can see in the pictures to the right the water damage to the buildings was quite high. The 3 cabins and lodge effected by the flood now have to be power washed and repainted.
|
| • Praise God that he has brought the funds in for us to go to language school! Although we are still a little shy of our 70% to go, enough has built up in our work fund to use for school. |
| • Because we are using our work fund for school, continue to pray for the needs we will have for outgoing expenses (air fare, a vehicle, and set-up costs for our family in Uruguay). |
| • Please pray for the camp property as those there help it recover from the flooding and the funds needed to repaint. In addition, please pray that God will touch the lives of those who were meant to go to camp those canceled weeks. |
Thank you so much for your prayers and we hope you have a Merry Christmas!!
In Him,
Bruno & Audrey Couto
