We woke up this morning to clear skies and the sun! It's the first day without rain and the first day we got to see the view from the Hampton Inn...and what a view it is!
Speaking of view...we also got to view a house today...and it is the one!!!!!
Lord willing, we will be renting the top floor which contains about 2,000 square feet of living space and four bedrooms at a price we can afford. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!! Besides the pink carpet:) it is beyond our expectations and we stand in awe of how the Lord has provided. The set up is perfect for entertaining, homeschooling and there is a yard for the kids to play in...complete with cherry,apple and pear trees!:) Our landlord will be living below us and he is a really sweet single guy who is as accommodating as ever! He even said I was free to add some color to the walls...whatever I would like! If you know me, you know I like color and just knowing that makes it feel way more like home! I will share more details once we are moved in and I can show you some pictures to go with it!
And, as the cherry on top, he had a beautiful couch and love seat (something I would have bought myself) that he GAVE us!!!! We would have had to buy something to fill the extra room (there is both a living room and family room) and, just like that, the Lord provided!!! I was BLOWN away! Cherry number two came when we drove around the block and found a baseball park only a couple of blocks away!!!!! We can't stop smiling!
We had a wonderful "celebration" dinner at "The Old Spaghetti Factory" and it felt good to eat something that was not fried!:)
We had a family movie night tonight at the church with the "M & M's" group (married and multiplying). Then it's the "big" day with church, Bryan teaching Sunday School, church again :) and an all-church potluck and Q & A session. We'll try to get some more swimming in too!
Monday we head home and Tuesday we wait for a phone call after the meeting Tuesday night! Our hearts are rejoicing in what the Lord is doing and we are excited that it looks like that means living in Surrey, BC and calling Cloverdale Baptist Church our church family!
Thank you so much for your continued prayers on our behalf. Believe me, we know you are praying! And, speaking of prayers answered, we also found out yesterday that our kids do not need passports to move to Canada...their birth certificates are good enough!
"Oh taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him."
Psalm 34:8

We love you and are SO delighted for His provision for you!
Love Dad
I am still praying as I know there is still a LOT ahead!
And also, VERY IMPORTANT: You need to post a picture of this amazing waterslide you keep talking about. (like you don't have anything better to do! ;)
And when we are in His Will...He shows it to us so clearly!! (Your HOME; the passport issue-NOT; your children's enthusiasm!)
We will pray for a safe journey home tomorrow! And prayerfully we'll connect (you and me) next week!
Love you my Sister!!! (I should probably call you daughter...since I'm as old as your parents! lol)
So glad to see all of your smiling faces, too!---with smiles that truly reflect your exciting times so far!!
