Please Pray w/ us about this house...........

(We have a two-bedroom house that has become available to us for 1,500 Euros.  It has a very secluded yard that is surrounded by lots of trees and vegetation. Even though it is on a main road, it is fenced in so it would be safe for Callie and Silas to run around the yard.)

(The bedrooms are the same size (10.5 x 11.5) and can fit two sets of bunk beds very easily)

(This is one side of the front porch.)

(This is the living room looking from the kitchen)

(This is the back of the house...can't you just see an awning put up and chairs lined
up for church services one day?)


(This is the other side of the front porch)
(This is absolutely the biggest kitchen I have yet to see on the island!  It would be great for
fellowships and having people over!)

We have prayed about this place and have peace that the Lord would have us to rent this place.The current renters are leaving at the end of this month and then the owner wants to do some things to the house.  "Through the grape-vine", we were told that he wants to put in a dishwasher for us since we have a large family and he wants to get a new fridge and washing machine as well.  He also wants to add an air conditioner to one of the bedrooms as well and get the place cleaned up.  This is, by far, more than we ever expected in a house to rent.  We had previously expected to rent one of the older kinds of homes without any windows or screens.  The owner has several other families lined up to rent the house but we are supposed to have the first option.  I emailed him yesterday and told him that we would like to rent the house.  I have not heard back from him yet, but please be praying that we will hear from him soon and that he has not made the house available to anyone else yet.
