Bank Problems

My bank here has decided they will no longer cash my Canadian cheques. They're not usually pleased when I bring them in and it generally takes around a month to process them. Until now this has worked fine, I mean it's inconvenient when I need the money right away but so far it's been the only option. Recently I found a bank around here that will process international cheques in a week with no complaints but unfortunately they will not give me an account because I am Canadian and do not have a social security number. Nathaniel does however have an account with this bank so we are asking that all cheques be made out to Nathaniel Lane and then he will cash them for me.
**This is only temporary, things will get much easier when I finally get my visa! **

Thanks!

Ok so it's been a while...over a month actually.
Things are busy!
I'm planning a wedding and trying to keep up with the rest of life, can you really blame me?

Wedding planning is going well. Things are coming together and brainstorming the details is fun. This whole process has definitely brought out a lot of our differences and it's been good way to learn even more about each other. With all the ups and downs of the whole thing at the end of the day we're excited to be married in just 81 days!

We have new students once again. I feel as though I am always saying that but I guess it's true, each three month period goes by so fast! This quarter is smaller than the last few have been since it's summer time. Summer schools seem to be smaller since we haven't been running them as long as the other ones.
The students right now are fun. They're all really different but they seem to connect quite well. I've been blessed to have a significant amount of time in the kitchen this quarter and the opportunity to get to know the students in this way.

We are still raising money for the new campus, we got an extension on the closing date. Praise God for that! The new closing date is August 31, 2010 so be praying for that!

Well I hope you are all doing fabulous! Shoot me an email and let me know how things are going! sjrinas@ywamorlando.com
