Prayers Have been Answered!



Hi Everyone!
Thank you for praying! We have returned home & are glad the weather held off & gave us two beautiful days of driving!
Thank you to everyone who was praying for us! God has been faithful yet again & answered our prayers!
Monday night we go into Prince Rupert & headed for bed... We were tired after about 12 hours of driving. Tuesday morning we awoke to a wonderful smell thanks to our hostess Colleen. She was a wonderful host & sister in the Lord. We chatted most of the morning with Colleen as she shared with us about Prince Rupert & the make up of the town. She has lived there for 19 years & has seen the community grow. She shared details which are to many to share. Lets just say everything was really informative & helpful!
The rest of Tuesday we spent the day looking in newspapers for housing, connecting with the real estate agents, & wondering around downtown. We met a few locals & chatted quite a bit with them. The main thing was to connect & ask some questions. So we tried our best & did connect with a few people.
Wednesday we went out again in search of housing, but thought we better connect with Joy, who runs the volunteering department for the city. After chatting with her & Gordon, another local , we were so pumped! They are so excited to have us come & help! They are really taken back that we would want to come to PR to help with Sea Fest & July 1 ~ Canada Day parade!
It was great to talk & get to know them personally! This summer will be a fun time, but also a way to "love on" PR!
When we were leaving, Joy gave us the name of a company & contact that might be able to help with housing for this summer! Leslie from Macro Properties; so we phone Leslie & set up two appointments!
We meet Ray later that day to see the 3 bedroom condos. At first I wasn't sure, because they look a bit run down, but after looking through the condos we were definitely interested. As we left we saw that this complex housed many young kids & young families. Ray assured us that they don't tolerate partying or wild behavior; so I guess we better be on good behavior this summer... Just kidding... But really ~ we know we will be safe. And what an opportunity to live in the midst of so many families! Josh & I still had the appointment for Thursday, so we went & looked at the 2 bedroom condos which we really liked, because they were brand new for the same price, but it wasn't in the midst of the community!
The Lord really confirmed that we were to be at the first set of condos! Josh & I are really excited to get to PR & be in the midst of that community. We know the Lord has great things in store!!!!
