We have officially found a renter for our home and the family is willing to lease it for all 5 years!!!! Praise God! We were just getting to the point where we discussed how many more months we could swing paying our mortgage before we had to let it go. God knew what our breaking point was and answered our prayer. The fact that our home is a great fit for this family and that they want it for 5 years is only something God could pull off :) Thank you for your prayers. I know God heard all of you praying and once again, He stepped in at the right time and provided for us. We feel a huge burden lifted and now we can focus more attention to serving God here without the constant worry in the back of our minds about what to do if our house doesn't rent.
God's faithfulness is something we are learning to trust in. He keeps coming through for us sometimes early, sometimes at the last minute, but He is always there and we are amazed by Him. We will have to keep reading back in our blog to be reminded of moments like these next time we feel discouraged.
Also...Elijah would like to announce that he has been asked to play on a community soccer (football) team. There is a teenage volunteer who helps with the football league and he wants to take Elijah on Fridays for practice and on Saturdays for games. Elijah has never played soccer before except at recess at school so it will be fun to watch him learn and to see him making friends in the community. Most of the kids speak some English so it will be cool to see and hear them. He will begin next week as this Friday we are headed to Durban to attempt buying a vehicle.
