We found our new home today! It's about a 10 minute walk to the town centre, and it's really close to the schools of the teens that we're going to be involved with. We'll be able to move in the first week of December.
It was really funny how we found it. Let me tell you the story! :) As we were walking through the town today, I was praying over and over that God would guide our steps and lead us to where we should go. We realized that we had forgotten the paper with the information of a place we were supposed to go look at this evening. We called David and Janie who had scheduled the appointment and none of us could remember the letting agency it was with, but David said he thought it was on a certain street. So we found a letting agency on that road, went in, and explained our predicament. The girl was very kind and looked up their schedule, but we weren't on it. It was the wrong letting shop. She asked us if we wanted to see what they had though and we said we'd be happy to see. She asked us a couple of questions, typed our answers into her computer, and said that they had one we might be interested in. As she showed us the pictures it turned out to be one that Nick had really liked on the internet last night. After asking if we could possibly go see it, she rang up the landlord and he said we could come immediately if we wanted. So we did. It's in a beautiful, quiet, neighborhood just outside the town centre. And when we got there the landlord met us and said that if we wanted to take it completely furnished he would be happy to leave anything in it that we wanted. It had really good, clean, quality furniture in it! Including dishes, tables...everything we need! We went back to the agency and talked it over with the letting agent. We asked if they would take 40 pounds less, making it exactly what we planned to pay for a place. He called the landlord and he accepted.
I'm confident to say that it was no accident that we went into the wrong agency. God will lead your steps if you let him!
