A quick update on our housing front...
We found out on Thursday that we got approval for the loan! Praise Jesus! We had many extra obstacles to overcome with getting the loan. The last few weeks we have been sending many email and making early morning phone calls to Denmark to get extra paperwork signed since Johan doesn't have a W-2 in the U.S. for the past two years.
However, being married to a foreigner isn't so bad after all...we both have learned a great deal about being creative, persistent and patient. All attributes that we believe God has been wanting to teach us through this process.
Prayer Request:
Today we snuck back into the house and discovered a new growth and water sources... The basement has a leak from the side of the house and there is mold growing in the second floor stairwell from a leak in the ceiling. I don't know how we missed all this when we did our inspection (it may have had something to do with the 4 inches of rain we had on Wednesday!) However, we are optimistic that the problems are not too expensive to fix and that with my Dad's knowledge and Johan's love and eagerness for projects we will clean up this little mess as well. So if you would pray with us on these mold and water issues. (Wouldn't it be wonderful if God just made the mold disappear?!!!!)
So exciting that you got approved! We can't wait to come see it!
