moving again

I bet you wonder what this is all about. Well, we found out why people do not have carpet in Mexico. We started waking up each morning with little red bumps all over our bodies. We found out that we had a little bug called a chi,chi. This is possably a bed bug or something similar. We were telling people about the problem and a man offered to fumigate our place for free. This was a huge answer to prayer and it killed off the little guys for a while. The last few day it started all over again. At the same time another apartment opened up in the same building. We took advantage of this and went to the church again telling them about our problem (along with the stove that leaks gas fumes and the boiler that wouldn't shut off). After a few days of talking back and forth they decided that we could move upstairs. We went there today and asked about it and they gave us the keys. They told us that the only thing is, they need the keys to our place by tomorrow. We had to move all out stuff out of there, and into the new place in one day. Tomorrow morning we have to get in there and clean, but we are thanking Jesus for His provision. This place is exactly the same except for the fact that we have all tile and NO carpet. They are ripping out the carpet and putting tile in our old place so that it will be ready for the next people moving here from Cancun.
We have a couple from Guadalahara that have moved here that are a huge answer to our prayers. We have hit it off so well the last week. We have been sitting up all night long talking about everything under the sun, and just encouraging each other in the Lord. They have 2 kids the same age as ours and they are also our age, and married around the same time. They are so amazing and also in love with God. They are here preparing also to go overseas but they have to study while first. They have the same heart as us as well. We stand here in awe of God as we see Him preparing the direction of our lives, and how He is providing a team of people around us to help this get accomplished. We are working every day on our language and we are seeing the hand of God moving mightly in our lives. We are excited to tell you more but that is all for now. P.S. Please pray for our family as we continue seeking the face of God in our lives. We are only willing to go in the direction that He moves us as we are starting understand the next steps. Thank you again and talk later. Ross
