New House!

Wow! Today has been one of the craziest days yet here in Costa Rica, but one filled with amazing blessings! Yesterday, I came home to apartment to an awful smell and the sound of water dripping. When I passed the bathroom, I realize the roof was ready to crumbled and there was quite a bit of standing water. Shortly after, the ceiling did fall and water started rushing down as my neighbor in the apartment upstairs continued to use his water even though he knew it was rushing into ours. There have been many quirks and issues in our apartment, but this was the last straw.

Though knowing how long it took us to find this place, we new it would have to be an act of God to find a new, suitable place and in less than 48 hours. (We leave for a week in the jungle on Sunday morning). God is so faithful! We found a great place by 9am, saw at noon, decided to take it and were meeting with the lawyer by 3:30pm. The locks were changed at 6pm and we've spent all night packing, with the help of Blake and Aiyla. Tomorrow morning, the team is going to help us move all our stuff into the new house, before we all head off to the jungle bright and early Sunday morning. I still cannot comprehend it. God is good. Please be praying for us, as we strive to get everything livable tomorrow. Our friend Rachel is house sitting for us, and we want her to at least be able to cook and sleep in comfort. Also, be praying that we get all of our deposits back from our landlord. She doesn't have any real grounds to withhold them, but we are leaving without giving a month's notice.

I can't wait to share pictures of the new place when we get back! We also have an extra bedroom now, so there is plenty of room for visitors.
