We have close to 40% of our finances raised, but we are going on faith that the rest will come in these next few months. We only need about 83 more commitments at $40/month.
This week, the Romano family also found a house for us. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms that are very interesting. One has a bidet so no wiping necessary and another has the toilet inside the shower. I am looking forward to trying that out. If you never have seen a bidet, Teri tells me there are You-tube videos about it (but isn't that the case for just about anything). Don't worry, Teri assured me she did not watch the videos. There is a huge Mango tree in the back yard. There are no appliances and no furniture, so we will be purchasing all the necessities when we get there. Our rent is 16000/month....pesos that is. That converts to about $400/month. This is a good deal for the house and the location. We will be only a few blocks from the Romano's, a block from the Police station and a couple of blocks from the connection café. There are no screens or glass on the windows. They are just basically shutters, so we will have to install screens to keep the pests out.
We are very excited to have a place to live. No we just have to get ready to go. Thanks for all your prayers and support.
Here is a picture of the outside of the house.
