Dear friends & family,

        Callie and Audrey attended a Ladies tea at Grace Bible Church last weekend for their missions conference. Some more good connections were made and they told us to contact the youth leader and schedule a meeting with them.

        This past weekend we went to a missions Barbeque at the Yates Baptist Church of Lyndonville, as well as taught a children's Sunday School class. The Zeliffs hosted the barbeque as a fund raiser for a missions trip to Cedar Lane Missionary Homes in the spring. They went to Uruguay with Bruno on the first exploratory trip in 2006 and they want to continue their involvement with us in the future by way of organizing work groups and missions trips to our camp in Uruguay.

        Now for something for you to look forward to! We had mentioned in January's newsletter of something special to come in the late spring, well here it is. We are planning to have a Uruguayan Barbecue, called an Asado, and you are invited! The purpose for this event is in hopes to invite local church leaders, ie. pastors, missions committee members, as well as our current prayer and financial supporters out for a taste of the Uruguayan culture and a brief presentation of our ministry. If you know of anyone that may be interested in becoming a prayer or financial supporter please feel free to invite them as well even if they are not in the two categories listed above. We simply ask that you let us know so that we make sure to have enough food. We are looking to have Cedar Lane host the event but the date has not yet been finalized, it will be sometime in late May or early June.

New prayer requests:
        1) Please pray that we can schedule meetings with the churches recommended to us by some of you. (By the way, thank you for sharing these contacts with us!!)
        2) Please pray that the plans for the “Asado” go well and those that attend will be able to get a closer look into Uruguayan culture and the ministry we want to start there.

Thank you for your prayers!

In Him,

Bruno & Audrey Couto
