It's been one of those months. Communicating in a language that is sometimes difficult to understand. At the beginning of last month when Bill went to go pay the rent, the bank teller said something to him that ended with "I have an apartment we'd like you to see". Now why would the bank want us to see an apartment. We tried to make arrangement several times, but never connected with the guy at the right time.
Well I took on a new English student and wouldn't you know her Aunt works in that Bank. The New student also speaks pretty decent English, so when the Teller saw her with me, he came out of the bank and talked to her in Arabic. So this is the story " our apartment is being sold and the bank needs us to move the sooner the better". Now we understand why the bank wanted us to look at another apartment.
We are currently looking for a new place to live. Smaller and cheaper than what we have but yet big enough to still enjoy hosting those coming through our town. We don't have a place yet but we are packing up the house, got most of the books packed. We are trusting the Lord in finding us the right place, we did find one place we like, but are waiting for an answer from the landlord.
Pray with us that we can get moved before it gets to hot and that our funds will hold out for the move. We are looking this as a challenge to begin anew in a new location, a chance to meet new people and make new contacts.
Take care, come see us soon.
