Another "Coincidence"? Of course not!

We have been praying for the last year + that God would find a safe home for us in Guatemala that we could move into in January when we arrive. Bob Hastings and his family have been living in Guatemala for over four years now in a home that's in a safe neighborhood just down the street from The Christian Academy of Guatemala (where our 3 oldest are already enrolled). Last summer Bob and his wife Robin bought a condominium nearby and planned to move in when it was completed in February of this year. The condo was delayed in construction by a month and I joked that if only it could be delayed 10 more months than we could rent their house! Bob laughed, ha ha. Well, month after month it was delayed and month after month I said gee only " x " more months! Well, here we are in mid-October and Bob just received his closing date and I have worked out a contract with his landlord and we will be moving into their house January 1 ! This is an amazing blessing as we know this house, are very comfortable there and our kids will be safe behind the walls of this safe neighborhood. There are several other missionary families living there, so Mary will have company during the day and our children will have other kids to play with! Why do we ever worry, when we have a provider like we do? Thank you for those who have been praying for this along with us!

That is great! We do have an awesome provider!!! It's hard to believe you are coming to the end of language school and will finally be settling in Guatemala! Life in Maine is cool at the moment..I'm sure it will only get colder, but one can pray for some warmer days. Love You guys!
