Sorry! It has been a while since we have emailed or updated our blog. The truth is we have been so busy with getting our new home ready for us to move in. We haven't been to the library. We thank everybody for their prayers in regards to finding a home.

It's really a unique thing in Italy, whenever you move into a house their is literally nothing in it. It is completly empty. We've had to install everything needed to live; including a toilet paper holder and lights. When we walked in their was nothing but wires hanging from the ceiling. So above are pictures of us getting the house ready for move in. Today I am going to pick up our new refrigerator.

We have been so blessed by David and Craig as they have labored with us all week long. The kitchen that was installed by Craig has taken the longest and has been most difficult part. It has to be completely constructed, all we had was boards and screws to start with.

Sandra and the kids stayed busy cleaning windows and heating radiators that mount to the walls, while David and I put together furniture. We went to Ikea in Padova and bought some of the basic necessities for us to live.

We thank everybody for their love and support as we have taken this step of faith we truly feel like everybody has stepped with us and are right along our side. The last week has been probably the most difficult week for us since we arrived in Italy. We are coming to the realization that this is now our home. We are truly honored and blessed that the Lord allows us to serve Him here.

This week I have been blessed to share God's Word with the two churches here in this area. Pastor Craig asked me to teach his Wednesday night service here in Montebelluna and Thursday night in Feltre. It is always a blessing to encourage the believers here in Italia. Please keep our Visa situation in your prayers, we still haven't received the required documents, also pray for Carlo Nicolo who will be arriving here in Motebelluna with his family to serve here as well.

We pray that you guys enjoy the pictures as the Lord has proven Himself faithful time and time again, be blessed.
