Tony and Laura Lewry

...And so the story continues. Tony is recovering form Flu slowly. He has to sleep alot but feels better when he is awake. I'm off my feet for the time being. Slightly frustrated at times but.. "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all" Things are looking up and we are so grateful for the love and suport of our family and friends.

its been a bit of a bad week. Tony has some kind of Flu or inffection and has literally been in bed for a week now. I (Laura) had my bag stolen from under my nose with all my lovely english makeup and credit card and new Colombian ID card. The Little hut we are living in does not yet have running water or Gas.We have been promised.. but its still not here. The work is great but life is just a little tough. the views not bad though. Please keep us in your thoughts! soon i hope to send new pics so watch this space!

Good evening from Colombia! Well we are finally here! It's been a bit of a crazy week trying to settle in and get free of jet lag, buy food and begin to visit each of the projects. We have started to make some friends and went to a nice birthday party for one of the team up at the farm yesterday. On Saturday we helped at the Jungle club, which is in a poor area of Bogotá. Tony beating the kids at table football. Doing craft. Helping on the climbing wall. Laura playing on the wii!

After a lot of messing about we managed to get our visas!!

We Spent the weekend in Sweden with my Big sister Bea, Brother in law Paul and Nephew Nickolas. Paul took me out in a little plane we went to the beach and went Kayaking!! thanx so much you really looked after us well!! we'll miss you When we got back we went to Hastings to rest, pray and focus on what we are about to do. Sorry no pics as we left the camera in sweden!

Tuesday, Bob and Elaine cooked Lamb, and it was good. Wednesday, Jenny and Richard cooked Gammon and pineapple, and it was good. Thursday, the consulate accepted our visa application (which means they will probably let us in) and it was very good. We really are being looked after!!
