Today, we move into our new rental home, so it's a good day! It may take a while to get broadband service, so there may be some "web silence" from us until then. I'm sure we'll be able to find some free Wi-Fi somewhere in the meantime.
Yesterday, I got a call from our man who's been working with Irish customs to get our container to us. Surprisingly, he said that there had been no problems and that they could deliver the containter on Friday morning! This came as a huge relief to us since we had heard that Irish customs may require proof of our residence in the U.S. for more than 6 months, like utility bills. Of course, all of those kinds of records are on the container. It wouldn't have been impossible to work through, just a headache and a delay.
So after being in our new place for one night, our belongings will arrive on our front doorstep the next morning. As you can see, we are being taken care of! From our house search to our temporary housing to the container arriving in good time, God's hand has been in it all. Big shout out to those of you who've been faithfully praying for us. Keep it up! We've only begun to get settled in to life and service in Ireland.

Yippety do da!!!! And from someone in the know (oh, it's fun saying that...), your house is Gorgeous!!! So very thankful with you.
ReplyDeleteYEAH! I heard it all went super speedy. Can't wait to see it...you can have me over for dinner next week if you want :)
ReplyDeleteBrandon, Thanks for the update. After all that doom-and-gloom from the truck driver, it's nice the container is there. About Records: I think the solution is to scan everything and put it on a memory stick, but how much do you scan? Never ends. Prayed for you guys this morning.

PS: We drafted about 8 people for CGroup and I started in 1/2 Timothy (guess the theme). Suzanne and Katie warned the new people that I tend to come out of left field: my intro last week started with "Why" they were there, then I started in Isaiah and progressed to 2 Tim 2:2 to tell them "Why" they were really there.
Hey, Doug! Good to hear that the CGroup is going so well.
ReplyDeleteHolly, you can come over for dinner any time you want. Looking forward to having you on this side of the lake!
Dawn, thanks for the encouragement. And the help moving in.
Ron, you'll have to keep me updated on the Claiborne book. Now that we're getting settled in a bit more, I'm hoping to finish it soon.
