Dear amigos,

• Praise God for a great visit to St Andrew's, Strathfield. By God's grace, we were able to encourage the brethren by sharing what God is doing in Chile and by challenging them to get involved in supporting the work of CMS all around the world. We were so warmly welcomed!

• 
  
August is here! Can't believe it! That means we have a little bit over 6 months to go before returning to Chile (we hope to depart the second or third week of February). Please pray for our grieving/happy/sad/excited hearts and for the issue of raising support.

• This Sunday, we will be visiting St. Mark's Anglican Church Harbord. Please pray that Pato may preach the Word clearly and that he may be used by God's Spirit to encourage the saints over there (three services). Please pray for Dagmar and the girls because, though it is a great joy to serve, it is tiring for them.

Please note that we DO NOT have a land line (9517 1734 is not valid), just our mobiles. Please feel free to ring us and ask us (we may forget to offer it) to ring you back because we have a good deal to speak to any land line in Australia ( up to 10 minutes for 24 cents).

Much love,

Dear amigos,

Ministry:

• Praise God for St. Luke's Miranda, every Sunday we go they are a blessing to us! Pato just spent a couple of great days in staff retreat. We give thanks to God for so many godly examples we can learn from!

• Praise God we had a great meeting of the South America SUS group last Saturday. Around 25 people keen to support in prayer, and some of them eventually going, got together to hear to Grahame & Patty Scarratt and Stephen and Rebecca Shead.
• This Sunday, we will be visiting St Andrew's Strathfield. Please pray that Pato may preach the Word clearly and that he may be used by God's Spirit to encourage the saints over there (three services).

Please note that we DO NOT have a land line (9517 1734 is not valid), just our mobiles. Please feel free to ring us and ask us (we may forget to offer it) to ring you back because we have a good deal to speak to any land line in Australia ( up to 10 minutes for 24 cents).

Much love,

Pato

This is cute Rocío playing at a park in Concón (Viña del Mar, Chile). January 2007

This is one of my favorite pictures. It was taken in November 2005 when Rocío was 1 year old.
