Dear Friends and Family,

England and the US are through to the last 16 in the World Cup!!

House(s): Some progress has been made through my solicitors toward the purchase of a house.  I went to see the house last evening and am eager to get moved in.  However, furniture will need to be procured first!  I brought none with me from South Africa.  On the other hand, I’m not looking forward to moving again!

***Please pray for wisdom in the purchase of furniture, that there won’t be a glitches in my being able to move at the end of October, and that my house in South Africa will sell soon.***

Driver’s License: I’m booked to take the written part of the test next Tuesday.  I’ve been practicing by taking tests on the internet and have been doing very well.

***Please pray that I’ll pass.***

Support Groups: I’ve been training a lady in the church so we can co-lead GriefShare and am waiting to begin training our pastor so we can co-lead DivorceCare. Lord willing, future leaders will be found from the participants.   The pastor, Roy, and I could then bow out.

***Please pray for the many decisions that need to be made about the groups, for us 3 leaders, our advertising, and that the Lord will provide other leaders for the future. ***

The past few days my left hip has been giving me pain.  This is the real hip, not the one that is fake that I got in October.

***Please pray that I won’t have to have this one replaced, too, and that I’ll not do things that contribute towards it deteriorating.***

Bits: -I’m attending a Bible study each week with 4 or 5 ladies in the church.

-some of us ladies also get together socially each week either in a home or a local restaurant.

-today I bought a season ticket for Manchester United!! It’s in a good location in that huge stadium, which holds about 76,000.  I can’t wait until 14 August when the season begins.

-dawn begins around 2.30am!  Of course, that will begin reversing now.

-I moved here expecting lots and lots of rain. Wrong! It’s not happened – yet.

Please thank the Lord with me for my reliable car, the flat to rent, a house to buy, a lovely bunch of folk to work with at church, at which I’m getting good teaching, far less stress regarding safety and security, and for good health.  I thank Him for you and your support!
