We've had quite and incredible couple of weeks. We decided to go for a mortgage interview and found that we can borrow enough to be able to buy a house in the village. There was only one we could afford (before we sell in N. Ireland). It's a 3 bedroom mid-terrace which needs completely gutted and renovated!!! Several things have happened to make us think this is the house God wants us to buy. It feels like we're taking on the Drop-In Centre once more...another aspect of the ministry here that resembles what we were doing in Mexico! We should get possession by the end of April and then it will take up to a couple of months to make the house habitable. We'll post some before and after pictures.
We've already met some of our neighbours. A couple of ladies work in the office in Tabitha's school and we met another lady who will live close to us on Friday night. We're so looking forward to being in the heart of the village and more involved in people's lives. Now that the decision has been made we would really appreciate your prayers that our house in N. Ireland sells quickly. We would get a better interest rate if we could transfer our mortgage over than we will get if we have to take out a separate mortgage.
The SU group in the school continues to be a highlight in the week. The kids are so open and friendly. Andrew has been asked if he would be involved in the school's Easter service. This week we have a special evening for mums of toddlers on Thursday. This will be a monthly event and we are kicking off with a night on First Aid. We have put out some publicity and are hoping for new contacts.
We are just coming out of a period of sickness. Lots of new bugs for the kids to get used to. We so appreciate your prayers as we work excitedly to see God's kingdom extended.
