Wow! Things are happening fast! We are busy packing (well, I am busy packing) everything we plan on taking with us for the next 3.5 months. It is becoming very real and comforting to be heading back to a familiar place. Praise God! We have a BIG praise report to share from this past week. As Tim was looking up hotels to stay at in Gulu while we find our new home, he came across a posting for a 2 bedroom apartment in town. He emailed the contact listed and it turned out to be a missionary who had left Uganda in January and would not be returning due to health issues. After a delightful conversation, and seeing pictures, we felt this was the place!
The missionary was hoping to sell all of her furnishings (pots, pans, gas oven, beds, dressers, etc), so we were delighted to take them off her hands. We will still need to purchase a few items while we are in Kampala before heading up to Gulu... but this certainly helps us out! We also bought the generator from her (you have to buy every appliance and piece of furniture), which means we will have back up power when it goes out! There is a nice big yard for Silas to have a little freedom and a garden ready for us to plant in. Yay! This is the place we've been praying for. The most amazing thing is, the apartment is half of what we had budgeted for! We have finalized the plans with the landlord and are very excited to have a place to move into as soon as we enter Gulu. Please continue to cover us in prayer as we board the plane this coming Monday, June 20th.
Thank you for your love and support.
Blessings,
Janessa (Tim & Silas)
