After along journey we arrived in Montevideo around lunchtime where we were met at the airport by Daniel (from Texas) and Fabio. We got through the airport so quickly that we had left before Steve Carter (one of the other SAMS missionaries) got there. When we got to the Bishops house, Fabio cooked lunch for us. In the early evening, we went to the beach with Daniel and Luis and had our first “Maté”?

We left Devonat about 6 in the morning in order to drop Greg off on the way to theairport. Got to the airport in plenty of time, and we were allowed tocheck in straight away Ô?? without having to queue much! Got boardingcards for all the planes for our whole journey! The British Airwaysflight was good, had a choice of 13 different channels we could watch with about 6 different films!

We’re flying out to Uruguay tomorrow afternoon- well we don’t get there till Friday lunchtime their time! I’m a bit nervous, but very excited!! I’m looking forward to getting there, and looking forward to some of the travelling, but don’t really fancy 36hours travelling!!

Preaching Post is our newly planted geocache!! The coordinates are a bit off, so it may be difficult to find!

Well we’re now in Devon - the drive down didn’t seem too bad, the roads were pretty clear, and it took about the same length of time as we’d expected. Even the time we told my Grandma for stopping to see her on the way down worked out right! :)Today we were the first to find a geocache - it was hidden by the side of the road, so not the most interesting place for a cache, but still cool being the first to find it!

I’m now up in Nottingham, well I’ve been here since last Tuesday, been having a good time. Got ourselves a travel adapter, and been attempting to find a cheap external CD-Writer - so far no luck! We went to Beeston Evangelical Free Church yesterday evening, which was really nice, and seemed very friendly. The sermon was on Acts 24:22-26:32,and was interesting - particularly the links between the Herrods, and Agrippa, Drusilla and Bernice and how they had all reacted to Paul’s message.

Just winding down and clearing up (again) - I’m going to miss it here, but I’m going to keep in touch. Well all there is now is to give back my laptop, hand in my badge and head to the pub!!

We found 8 over the weekend! Lots and lots of fun, and loads of nice places around the area that I didn’t realise were there.

At last! - I finished my sermon this morning - before leaving for the morning service. I’ve had a very hectic week - all cumulating in this one day! Katrina’s fundraising barbecue for us was brilliant - It was fun, and managed to raise 311.36 through it! It was really nice that my parents were able to come along too. Then this evening I did my sermon. Preaching for the first time was scary - I was very nervous.

We decided to go back to the Kench for a walk with my parents last night and have another look for the geocache.After a bit of searching we found it though - Maybe it’s easier with a bit more experience!
