Another miracle....

S. and her family have been here since August, looking for good housing, and so far staying with friends and relatives here and there. Many here are looking for housing and it is difficult to say the least. But difficulty is the first stage of a miracle isn´t it?
Now it came to a deadline as the owners of the house that they are staying in are coming at the beginning of April, in about 2 weeks. We had been looking but not found the right thing.
So we asked for prayer and prayed ourselves a lot and desperately. And the other day I had to get ahold of some tourists who are staying here, and here they came up to me near my house and asked if S. had found housing yet."Not yet, but we are praying,“, I answered.
They said that someone was moving out next door to where they stay. So I went and found out by a neighbor who the owners were and realized that I know them!
When I left a message asking if they will rent out the house she called back very soon and said yes, and explained about the house, which sounded good, except that there was only one toilet on the ground floor, which would mean that they and the daughter have to at night go all the way down to the toilet when needed.
When I called again to arrange to see it, the owner said that they will build another toilet upstairs and paint all the walls!
So today we went to see it and it is wonderful! It has plenty of space, 2 bedrooms, a salon with mezzanine, a terrace, a fire place in the kitchen/ dining room, a good atmosphere even a bathtub, sweet neighbors and a good price and it will be ready to move in at the beginning of April! The owner is super sweet and also understanding that S.'s paperwork is not all worked out yet and said it will all be okay, and that she trusts us, because she knows me.
We were soooooooo happy and are still on clouds as it is really such a miracle to find something like this so quick and so good and not expensive here, where so many are looking for housing! S's partner couldn´t believe it, he was so happy and overwhelmed, and kept asking "How? Why? Why us?" and S. explained that it is because of your and our prayers and because of God´s love for them, and he agreed, which is good, as he doesn´t have much faith yet. But this is sure making it grow. We are so very thankful and praise God for His wonderful care and for your prayers. Now we are praying that the paperwork will all come through and that D. will find good work. His wrist is almost healed. The other day the doctor who operated this complicated fracture asked, if he could document this case, since it is so special and such a success. "Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full" John.16:24
