Mel and Josh's home sold!

Well, I'm putting this link to Mel and Josh's listing and pictures, but it already sold....today....and for what they were asking. We are all so excited to see how God answered prayer! They have a week before they go to Ohio to speak at a church and then 10 more days before closing. So we will be packing up next week and the week after they get back. The plan is to store most of their belonging and then move in with us, Mama and Papa until they leave. What an adventure!

They're planning on selling the truck, keeping the van and renting a moving truck instead of the other plan to buy a trailer. They found a nice storage place about 3 miles from us to put their things until the move. We'll keep you posted on new developements.

By the way, the Missions conference went very well last week. Our Avalon Hills family is the greatest!

Prayer list for Mel and Josh

Here is a little practical prayer list for Mel and Josh.

* fixing truck to sell
* fixing van to sell
* yard, plastering, flooring and painting touch-up PROJECTS to be done so house can go on market at the end of February
* need to find a Suburban or Yukon XL (pref. 2500 series due to extra horsepower for pulling enclosed storage trailer around the states with us during the next 3 years)
* preparations for our Missions presentations at our church, Avalon Hills Bible Church, on Feb. 22 & 23rd, and then at Evergreen Baptist Church in OH, Feb. 28 - March 5th.
* continued safety for Josh at his job...we are blessed that he has this job with great health insurance.
* for baby Hannah's continued health (18 more weeks to "cook") and Mama Mel's too...and for wisdom on when to rest during all the projects :)
* for Josh as he tries to fit in instrument flying practice & also find an opportunity to get experience on small aircraft maintenance

Thanks for praying!
