Still Waiting...

Hi all, sorry its been so long since our last post. Things have been pretty awful and hectic over here. We are still waiting on Internet in our flat but are told that we will have it by Tuesday... we remain skeptical. Setting things up has been the awful part. For example, Sara cannot deposit her paychecks because she does not have proof of address from the U.S. or proof from the UK (Mind you, we can provide online bank statements, passports, visas, marriage lisence, paycheck stubs, tenancy agreements, etc.). The bank here needs either a drivers lisence or utility bill to show proof of address and unfortunately those are somewhere lost in snailmail land. Brad has an account and gets paid weekly so we are surviving (barely) but unable to have much fun. But there are some bright spots...We have both settled in at work and are enjoying our jobs. We have joined an awesome gym (which is where we sit at this moment thanks to a very comfortable cafe area with couches, televisions... and free Internet!!!).Stay tuned for more when we can sit on our own couch and type... until then, we have some prayer requests: Trivial as it may seem, if you all could pray that the Internet makes its way into our home that would be great as without it we feel pretty disconnected from you guys. Also, pray that we would be able to settle in at a church and begin to make some friends. Finally, pray that Sara would be able to join Brad's account so that we can deposit some checks and start living it up!!! We love you guys and miss you more than we can type!

Oh yeah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY POP... GOD WILLING WE'LL HAVE SOME TEA AND CRUMPETS TOGETHER ON SKYPE TUESDAY NIGHT!
