Wednesday morning I awoke to a brilliant sunshine. I spent some time in prayer, asking God to bless our apartment search and provide for us a place to call home this summer. After I showered, we began to pack up in preparation of moving out of the hotel. But by 10:30 am there was still no word from Leanora who was trying to set up some apartments for us to visit. So I decided to go and get a cell phone and then contact another realty agency. We met with Isabella who was able to find two properties for us to look at. Seth, Sean and I hopped into her car and went to an apartment owned by Americans, John and Mary Ann. They own a house and then next to their house is a small courtyard that contains four rentals. We saw a very clean and surprisingly large 2 bedroom apartment with laundry and I decided on the spot that this was it.
The address? Callejon del Espiritu Santo (Holy Spirit Street). Ha! Talk about an obvious God-thing. It was a fast day...we paid deposits and rent and brought our luggage over. But we also began our language instruction at Academia Colonial (newer school...owned by a man named Jean-Paul from New Orleans). We spent about 3 hours with our teachers and the boys really enjoyed it. Me? I was really tired from the events of the day, but spent time reviewing las frutas (fruits) and the verb tenir (to have).
Since we were so tired, for dinner we decided to order Dominos. Our neighbor, Rick, an American from South Carolina who is exporting Mayan goods, helped us locate the phone number and our landlord, John, spoke on the phone to make sure our order was correct. It is certainly nice to have people willing to help us out.
With the setting of the sun, we were in bed...in our home away from home. God had certainly blessed our day.
