Our New Neighbor

We are happy to say we have a new neighbor. Well, new, I guess, is a relative term.  Judy, Josh's mom, joined us down in Costa Rica the beginning of September.  Her initial plan was to stay a few months, but God has different plans.  Two weeks after arriving, Josh and Judy were taking the trash up the driveway on trash day.  They were stopped by Yamileth, our neighbor, who told Josh if we knew anybody that was looking for a house to rent, her rental property would be coming available October 1.  Her rental property is a small house right at the end of our driveway.  We all thought it was God's timing, and Judy made the decision to stay here for a longer term.  It has been nice to have family close by and Josh is loving being able to eat his mama's potato salad and meatloaf.  I love seeing how God works in ways we don't expect or imagine.  Judy continues to get settled in here.  She and her landlord (who does not speak any English) are learning to communicate very well through signs and facial expressions.  As you can imagine, it has been such a blessing to have her close.  Here are some pictures of her house.
