New Apartment Coming Along...

We're still in our temporary apartment, but our new home is almost complete. We had our appliances delivered for our laundry room and kitchen today! The rest of it is coming along well. The only major project left to be completed is a walk-in closet that's rather involved...it's kind of an addition to the building itself and has windows and stuff. It's really cool. We'll send pictures when everything's complete. So we're still in our temporary apartment until this apartment is finished...we believe it will be worth the wait. It's in an awesome location with tons of shopping literally just around the corner. It's also right on an open park with sidewalks for the boys to ride bikes and play while Mommy and Daddy jog around the perimeter. It's great. The apartment is owned by our country director, and it's her vision to have this apartment as a ministry to missionary families. She's asking for a very reasonable rent, and the place is covered with her prayers. We are very excited about it, we even have the boys' bunk beds already!! They're just waiting at our friend's place until moving day. Our own bed is also being delivered to that friend's place today. We're buying up everything we will need so when moving day finally comes we will be ready to move right in.

Aside from that, I am now taking a break from language school while Justin uses the time slot for his own language school...he only has four weeks and then he'll start work on October 15th. He's going out to a Food for the Hungry community this week to get his first glimpse of the work that God has for him. I'll go back to language school after we get settled into our permanent apartment and find good child care for Nathan for that time.

We're adjusting well, and things are moving along! Next big purchase: a car. Please be in prayer for a good car within our small budget. We know it's out there just waiting to be found :)

In Christ,
Gillian
